I am just waiting to see how long it takes for them to start asking guys to do OT. I wil be interested to see how many do it. Going down to operating one DC10.

Slight detour here, For the Gemini guys, are Chris M and Chris H still there? I used to work there as the Training planner til I got laid off back in 11/05. Sorry to hear the bad news. Had a good time working there, the people were great.

Spoke to a buddy at Gemini today, and he wasn't too sure on the final count, but said that there will be roughly 45 MD11 pilots, and 8 DC10 pilots and 9 FE's left on the property. He believes the company won't make it through the summer.
Sorry to hear the news, the high oil prices have taken another victim (Tradewinds, MK Air, now Gemini
)

I have an ex ATA bud from Puerto Rico, George, who went to Gemini after we were furloughed. Last I heard he was living in San Juan.
Would this cut have hit him?

Second trip into BK in two years. With the prices of Fuel at these levels, it doesn't look good. I heard from a friend there they need more investors soon. and he said real soon. The 14 mill. they just got won't last through the summer.
