Well 76Driver was off but 251 with 42 being 744A's means that DTW will see positive movement. We will see what the end result is but I admit that I saw 130-150 max taking it. The initial number is better than I would have guessed; 225-230 tops.

It's economic and the same reason they are not offering leaves over 12 months. They got burned giving three years leaves in 2010 and had to hire. They cannot predict where the economy is going to go, and as a result prefer to be slightly overstaffed to move quickly if needed. Of course when you can turn a profit the carrying costs v furlough for a min ROI is easier to argue.

I'm disappointed in you guys. You came up 49 numbers short for me to be able to use this graphic I made.

Oh well, I'll post it anyways.

We will see what they do with 9E. Buy em and destroy em or fold em in to ch7. Something appears to be up over there.

With the 700s going to GoJet and not being used as replacements for 200s at ASA, that is a much more dire outlook for Pinnacle.

When jr guys comment on the lack of movement it's called "whining." When senior pilots comment on the topic it's called "insightful analysis."

Clamp;

Did you take the early out?

Also, there appears to be a category not represented. There are more numbers than categories.

Extra numbers may account for instructors. Heard three 744 INS took the RMA.

I was thinking about it, but that new guitar I bought requires me to stay on a bit longer to pay it off.
