There are only about 12 of them and most of the uproar over it has passed. 2 or 3 of them gave that group a bad name but from what I've heard they have learned to keep their heads down and be gracious for the opportunity they were given. We do have upgrade requirements and not sure if they will meet them when there time comes.

One of them gave me a lift to work awhile back. He remembered me from Riddle and asked what I did before coming to Spirit. I told him I was at Skyway as a captain and loved every minute of it. He then asked what I did during furlough and I told him I found a job flying Dorniers again through the connections I had made over my time at Skyway. His response was, "Ya, I couldn't find anything because of my low time." I was able to laugh inside and that's really the last I've thought about it.
