From the MEC furlough rep:

Hello Everyone

There have been a few questions concerning the anticipated recall of
furloughed pilots at the end ot 2010.

Here are some of the tentative details that we are projecting will be
solidified in the next month or so:

1. The first group of recalled pilots is tentatively projected to
enter a training class in October 2010 to start flying in November or
2010.
2. Subsequent training classes are tentatively projected to follow in
November and December.
3. New Hire pilots are tentatively anticipated to come on property in
the First Quarter of 2011.

The bottom line is that recall of ALL furloughed pilots is being
planned between October 2010 and the First Quarter of 2011. Whatever
you situation is please start thinking about your acceptance of a
recall or deferral until the point of a MANDATORY RECALL. *The
tentative plan is that there will be a month by month attempt at
getting small groups of furloughed Spirit Pilots back on property.
Based on the number of deferrals and the companies need for bodies
back on property a MANDATORY RECALL may happen some time in November
2010 or December 2010 or First Quarter of 2011. I am sorry to be vague
but there are a large number of variables in this equation and we will
not know how the whole process will shake out until it begins. As in
the past, I am assuming that a company representative*will be calling individuals (from the top of
the list down) in an attempt to get a (yes I will becoming back / no I
will be deferring) response prior to the official recall letter
hitting your mail box. Again, depending on how many deferrals occur,
the process of going through the entire furloughed pilot list may
happen quickly and if the companies need for pilots exceeds the number
of acceptance responses, a MANDATORY RECALL (either accept recall at
that time or resign permanently) will occur and hopefully you know
what your final answer will be.

If you have any questions about this please feel free to contact me
and I will address your questions.

Sincerely


Pretty promising looking by the sounds of things.
