Thanks for helping us poolies to keep the faith.

Harley, there are many variables that no one knows the outcome too and how it will affect the crew force as it currently stands. Some of those issues are, open skies, new airplane acqu, retirement of current aircraft, the US dollar, world package volume, etc... I hope things improve so that you and the rest of the poolies get the call; sooner than later.

I'm trying CC and others, thanks. I do feel lucky to be in the pool instead of waiting for the application window to open again however.

Pam deferred to Buz and I thought that what he said was an announcement about additional aircraft would be made in the near future. He also said to expect little to no hiring in '08.

Now with the cost of fuel what it is and the downturn in the economy maybe the need isn't there anymore. I don't know but it sure seems to me that that was an awful lot of lift that has gone unfilled.

I wish you guys and gals the best with the bids.
