I'm not reading too much into that. Basically Republic said they wanted so many pilots. Well, if you knew you were losing your job in a few months wouldn't you find another one?
Well they had so many take voluntary furloughs and so many quit they don't have enough pilots anymore. So they asked for volunteers to come back and only a handful did, those that hadn't found a job yet.
So now they are making threats of desperation. I still ask, who is going to come back just to fly another month?
Granted it seemed a lot of captains took the voluntary so they could get unemployment at captain pay, only a handful are back flying I think. Most are doing other stuff. Some went to Shuttle America, some Colgan, Eagle, Compass, Allegiant, Airtran, and some back to corporate.
