We are making an insane amount of $ but let's see how much they hide and write off on subleasing the 5 RJs.
They sent out 23 recall letters on Friday for a class of around 10 on Oct 25 all going to the Q likely all SEA based. they only expect 1/3 to 1/4 of the furloughed pilots to come back. There is nothing offical but classes to follow of about 10 every other month as attrition continues to build.
Talked to someone who's in the Ops Center on friday...same rumors of 4 Q400's in Alaska Express colors. The one that caught my attention was 10 Q4's (possibly the old Lynx planes) for one of the majors at a big hub (DEN/ATL)...don't know if I want to believe that one or not.

So all recalls would be sent to the SEA base?
