You know that are just throwing darts at the wall?

I thought/guess the flows come regardless, based on their agreements (50%, 5, 3) and the recallees get the remainder??

And the SLI transcripts say they'll have 21 days after getting called. So the earliest they could be called in May 7th(?), which means the first class would be May 28th(?). So May is not going to have a flood of recallees. June will probably see the first mandatory recallees. Prior to that it's voluntary.

Id be surprised to see anywhere near 200. Honestly. Maybe a quarter of that. About three years ago the furloughs all had a chance to come back and collect the equity payout, which was worth maybe 80k. Many jumped at the chance to collect. Those who did not, and who've elected to wait until the very end are (in my opinion) very unlikely to suddenly decide that they have to come back to the fold.

I agree that they're over estimating the number of recalls.

In regards to the flow, the way I understand it, a flow spot is generated when an OTS hire is in class. Since recalls are pilots with a seniority number they don't activate that provision. I could be wrong, but didn't the flow stop for several months last year when there were a number of guys who came back?

Yes you are right. However if they stop the flows for a few months they have to make it up by the end of the year. I believe there's a set number each year that have to go.

Luckynow is right. I asked a guy that knew the answer. Returnees do not generate a flow spot.

May 16 will be the first returnees and they will fill all the training classes until whatever number of them return. So the guess is late July, August, or early September will be the return of OTS hiring.

I agree...

There are not a whole lot of jobs which are worth passing up on the money.

Maybe some folks were deployed in the military-but other than that, I can't imagine a whole bunch would just flush that kind of cash and come back anyhow.

The guys who had Climbed the seniority ladder EK did, but a lot changed there in the last 3 years. I wonder if you'll see many of them coming back in the end.
