Thanks for sharing Daniel. I've read the entire transcript and get much of the same feeling about this as you did. I don't know about you, but for me, this info just falls in-line and helps confirm what I've already been expecting concerning our furlough. From day one I've tried to take the pessimistic approach regarding our situation, that way I don't get too optimistic over any new ASA current events. Take ASA's large summer increase in block hours for example, it's hard not to take this as a sliver of hope for us, but in reality I believe the only way we might return is when we are compared to the "snapshot" of how ASA looks come fall and winter (my opinion). I would LOVE to be wrong about this though! As things stand now I try to just to remove myself from thinking I fit anywhere in the ASA equation, and focus strictly on bettering and enjoying myself outside of the cockpit. Just trying to make the best of it in my own way like everyone else I guess...

By the way, I've been wondering how many of us are left out of 80? The recall page on ourASA one shows that only one person has listed as a bypass. There are 3 other people that I know personally who are now done with training and flying the line at GJ, and they are still on our list.
