Stay tune for October UA announcement of recalls and at least one class of about 15 in JB.
I hope this sounds a bit more positive, we all know that there are some issues that needs to be address in JB, but I'm positive next 12 months will be very interesting. I'll post any updates about hiring and new classes I have fresh info from my friends at JBU on daily basis.
Our deliveries are late for this quarter, I'm not sure if we are going to get all at the same time. Good friend of mine is one that flys them out of France to US, and he told me, that at leat two are late.
I've talked to a couple of CAs over at B6 that are furloughed Delta/NWA. To almost a one they are talking about going back. Just to toss it in perspective, they'd make almost the same $$$ wise as an FO on the 767 as they make as a CA on the 320.
Next year is going to be interesting industry wide....assuming we make it past 12/21/2012. Damn Mayans.
