Thankfully, I've had a supportive family and financial resources to weather the Comair shutdown insofar.
I'm really bumming because I was looking forward to the Omni schedule; it works best for my particular extracurricular activities. I looked forward to the varied flying that went with the job, too. I hope the Bolivia contract expands to more hours & more flying becomes available in other parts of the Company's portfolio and leads to recalls and new-hires once again. I thought the new rest rules might cause a bump in recalls, too. I was really hoping the furlough was more of the "Evergreen-type" that lasted only 2-3 months during a momentary down-turn in hours.

I think November will be recall / new hire month as there are 12 remaining furloughs that haven't deferred or found other jobs. The new rules will definitely affect the scope of their operations however, from a planning standpoint November recall probably will give them enough time to train prior to Jan 4. If AA and Delta hire feverishly this year I have a feeling that date might move as there are a lot of young talented FOs with time in type looking for a more condusive schedule (no 90 tdy's).
