Bud I have been watching your post since you pretty much got hired.
I think you have a good head on your shoulders, and I had been bitting my tounge about you being the pool. I really think that you should do you best to stay in contact with them and check in every once and a while. since I have been there I have never heard talk of a hiring pool. They always told me they only knew thier needs a month or two in advance. My advice to you is to explore your options and keep focused on the long run. I would greatful to have in our pilot group, but it looking like its not your turn yet.

To answer your question. I just dont know, and there are so many more SR guys on here that have been here for mulitple years with ages more experince with the company that I do. I can only really offer you speculation, today, tomorrow, the rest of the year the pilot group does not want speculation coming from the mouth of an FO. Today all I have is a gut feeling. I dont know what that means yet. Right now, I want to say and feel there will not be a forlough, at the same time I am afriad I will be proven wrong.

To you, and all others, Hang in there. Try to stay in your comfort zone whether it be here on the forums to talk among coworkers, family. doesnt matter where
