Subject: Cancellation of Vacancy 06-08



The need for Vacancy Notice 06-08 was based on expected needs associated with the signing of a new Air Service Agreement with Northwest Airlines. Since we have been informed that the likelihood of receiving a new ASA has been delayed and will continue to be delayed until we have a new pilot contract, we can no longer afford to carry a high pilot surplus. Therefore, Vacancy Notice 06-08 has been cancelled.

As the result of this cancellation, the upgrade classes on October 3rd and October 24th will not be held. In addition, the new hire class dates of October 2nd and October 16th will also not be held.

The status of any future classes will be reviewed as the class dates approach.
