From the May bid packs:

STL
56 CAs
51 FOs

107

RIC
23 CAs
23 FOs

46

IAD
60 CAs
57 FOs

117


Totals: 270 bidding pilots for May.


I may be wrong, but it doesn't appear as if these numbers take into account the 30 furloughs going down in May. I don't see some of the guys' names that are getting F'd on the list.

The bid-pack letter from MW states that effective May 1st, we will have 29 airplanes with 27 flying the line holding 2 spares. No plans to add to or reduce fleet further in 2009.
