I think if this deal passes most will come back. Those that won't will be the ones that got on with places like Delta, Continental and FedEx a long time ago and have good seniority. There might be a few really senior jetBlue guys that don't come back. There are also quite a few military guys that have been on orders just waiting until the time is right.
