Hundreds of Mil leave pilots have come back. The March category list shows we are down to 198 Mil leave pilots. It was up over 500 at one time. I don't believe we are shrinking with the addition of the 717's and MD-90's. I don't know what the 739's are going to do to the 75 fleet, other than the ling term plan is to have 80-100 752's in the fleet. I spoke to a fleet guy last week who said that if things start moving in the right direction the 26 75/76 airframes in the desert will be put through their heavy checks. I'm just as frustrated by the lack of movement as anyone else, but I can't just snap my fingers and make everything better.
They are running out of excuses to not get some new warm bodies at mainline.

Items are given up in every contract even the very best. Trades are made. There were lots of changes in reserve. No one posts about the good things. Over the course of my career reserve is the single most improved part of the contract by a big margin. We have progressed from 19 to 20 days on call 24 hours a day with 2 hours to report to the system we have today. It has ebbed back and forth over the years by the overall trend has been hugely positive.

Just received a phone call from CPSC to inform me of a military escort of a fallen soldier on my trip tomorrow. I feel that this was classy upon them to give me a heads up. Now back to your regulary scheduled all Alpa/Delta sucks *****fest.

Is there any way to cross check how many of those mil leave guys are no longer on the seniority list? I know of at least a few that were on the nbcmil list after the merger who are now completely gone.

I've had two of these events in the last 12 months. One was combat related, the second was a very young SSGT who simply died in his sleep of natural causes, 3 months after getting home from A'stan. CPSC likewise gave me the heads up. I gave it some thought about how to offer all due respect. PM me if you want. The Mil escorts can also give you tips on how to approach. May be your last opportunity to positively (& personally) impact at least one fallen serviceman.

For what it's worth, in January of 2012, 345 were out on NBC MIL.
