Well...I've heard a rumor that we had a couple FOs (SJSers probably) who freaked out after the ATL contract was initially pulled, and jumped ship at 9E for Comair, and now are getting f-loughed at Comair. Just goes to show you it's better to wait it out than give up your number...even if your number happens to be in a pool somewhere.
What do you have to lose by staying in our hiring pool? You can always go somewhere else if they hire you first.
