13 x 32 aircraft (by Sept 2010) = 416 (below current numbers already on property)

13 x 34 aircraft (by Feb 2011) = 442 (below current numbers already on property)

13 x 35 aircraft (by early 2011) = 455 (the current number on property)

13 x 37 aircraft (by the end of 2011) = 481

We still have 509 on the seniority list. That still leaves almost 30 on the furlough list at the end of 2011.

I am not trying to ruin anyone's day...but I am tired of the false hope. Do I think they are going to utilize all these efficiencies? No....But I also think management will try to get as close to that 13 (crew per aircraft) number as possible, as quickly as possible.

I am still on that furlough list. When that call comes..it comes. I am tired of getting wrapped up in the hype.
