They confirmed that they're looking into which planes to pull from the desert for the 2011 flying and when thats decided they'll know what the hiring plans will be. They said that guam's in the air but it was "above their paygrade" so far but they were looking at doing the flying with more 757's instead of 737s because they dont want to commit the 737's out there with a base if it may not stick around for 5 years. More to come as the company establishes the gameplan going forward.
more 5 day trips are coming as well as high time 4 days. they also said that MEM 320 guys will likely be covering alot of SLC 320 flying until the SLC base is fully staffed.
Great info! Thanks. At least your little fiasco wasn't a total bust.
