they may be 90 FO's "fat" but the prob is they are deadheading reserves up to DTW from MEM cause they dont have enough there (my entire class is getting sent there in a few weeks though) and they are shorthanded across the board on as far as the captains. Attrition is what it is and captains are moving on or getting calls back from furloughs. I was hearing the need for at least 30 more capts in each base from a group of captains that were at the sim building for PC's. There would be 90 FO's right there! Mgmt thought they were cute by cancelling the last capt vacancy- why? only thing anyone can gather is the attempt to bring added pressure on the negotiations for a pilot contract.
