My heart does go out to the folks in BOS and LGA. It sounded like one of the bases was going to get cut and it always hurts when its your base. Good luck everyone.
i hope that is the case but if there are 200-230 pilots coming from the saabs they will likely displace moost of the lower guys on the EMB. i think that the 200 short is working itself out and a shortage of maybe 400 would've avoided any furloughs. it just seems there's going to be to many displaced pilots at this point to avoid some sort of reduction. i don't think eagle can afford almost 3000 pilots.
