Also rumor circulating that PHX is more determined than ever right now to acquire the airplanes that are being discussed (1 -100, and 3 -300's) and are not low balling the offers, but rather looking at offering market prices for them...FINALLY! That is the rumor update for now.
I wish you were right but that's not true, I'm one of the 8 PDT guys that were hired in '08 and nobody recieved such letter. We have been asking very, VERY top people at mainline directly and they have giving us no hope at this point, they have been sticking to their story of "we don't know what's going to happen with the pool yet". We have even had some of our former PDT people currently at mainline call and ask on our behalf and have gotten no further. the only thing we can do is keep our fingers crossed at this point.
