I've also heard that the "four aircraft" are back on our operating certificate (I have no way of verifying that); however, Indigo is in a "wait and see" mode and may or may not bring these aircraft back online. My gut feeling is that it depends upon market conditions and opportunities.

Indigo feels that we are adequately staffed and can absorb more flying just by decreasing the number of reserve lines in the near term. Think about it...how many reserves are actually flying right now? Very few.

I've also been told that Indigo was only "willing" to recall 8 pilots in response to the 5 day off arbitration award. We can thank PO and MA for getting 4 more added to that list (for a total of 12 recalls). I guess PO and MA saw this as their "opportunity" to get more guys back on property because they know Indigo will try to run this place critically lean. This gives us some buffer.
