LOL. Is that not the truth?
I will take the recall but not until the last call. So I guess that makes 1:9.
Still I don't see how they will hire in February. 125 furloughs. I bet many will not want to come back but if the recall happens in a short time, where will they go in the next few months? I know some who will go abroad but most will just come back, then leave later whenever domestic hiring will pick up again.
As it is now, if they don't get rid of more flying they are short by at least 30-40. So a recall of 30-40 in say November will probably burn through 50-60 numbers before they will fill the class. I have yet to talk to anyone senior to me who is willing to go to SJU on reserve. At the moment I can make the same money or more as a CFI compared to being reserve, on min pay, no OT, in SJU minus the crashpad and the incidentals like 3-6 margarita a day :-) .... yeah... screw that!
