Which brings me back to my original statement. Keep your money in the bank. Don't think wow I made it I'm going to buy a new house and car. It has bitten many a pilot. The stock market can crash, so can house prices. But cash is always a good thing in your bank account. So is seniority :-)
How can u be on the 777 now if you were a double furlough?

Yep, worked for me building up the furlough/displacement fund.

Next time I'll his say "screw it" and spend it on hookers and blow.

Spoke with Bill Kennedy last night. We are targeting the 1300 positions for the next 18 months. We are going to have to interview 2000+ to make this happen and have to hire 70 a month as well. 100 a month is a little too hard right now.

Good luck all...

Flyby,

Is training currently running according to the footprint or are there still some delays either with starting or during the process?

Last question, on the Bus what's the % split between TK, LAS, and MIA? Are they assigning or allowing for preference if able? Thanks
