It sucks... I know. I am only about 140 from the bottom of that list with almost a year behind me here at Comair... I guess all we can do is hope that 300 is a gross over estimation and senior guys take voluntary options...


Well for now I'm going to agree to disagree. I think we had the pilot spots because we hired 110 pilots and where looking to hire an additional 190. Don't get me wrong....I don't want anyone out on the street. But I'm just not sure its as bad as this board has stated. But hey what do I know.....I have a few back up plans and all I can do is wait......


BTW: when does the 70/90 August bids get posted?
