Is it really a depressing time? Quit watching the television and take these boards with a grain of salt. With the history of XJ you may already be on the street. Given the amount of TOWOP , early outs and the company seriously considering 1/2 time lines, something has to be coming down the pipe that they aren't telling us. If something were not still up in the air they would have sent 'F' letters right after we lost the 10 -900's.

There is no reason to hold on to 100 or so pilots just to make mgmt feel good. We are expendable and there are hudreds of guys/gals waiting in the wings for jobs. They could have furloughed and then recalled and had a stack of resumes 8 ft tall to choose from if the Mothership decided to give us more planes/flying.

You folks should know this industry by now...

Until you get the letter, you still have a job.
Until you finally sit in the seat, you have new aircraft.
Until you see it in the bid packet/schedule, you have new flying.
Until it happens to you........Nothing has happened.
