There was a break in the recall between Oct 05 when Delta filed BK, and the signing of Letter 51, in April/May of 06 when recalls started again. I was in the first group of 5 to be recalled after Letter 51 after being out 4 1/2 years. To make matters worse, I was laid off from Gemini Air Cargo when they filed for BK one month after Delta did.
