For what it is worth - I just got off the phone with Flightline and was told that the Perdiem packages for tax purposes should be out in the next few days.

Thanks for calling and getting a update. Every year it gets later and later. Eventually they'll be arriving April 14th!

80' it's not excuses. The company was going to hire between 100-150 this year, that's it. Over 100 have come back in the last year, and it wasn't expected. The last couple of months have been a trickle, so I'll grant you that. The good news is that there are only 198 B's left. The A's are mostly General or Flag officers who may never come back. Some of the B's as well, as I flew with a Marine two star once. There are also just a few over 200 furloughees to come back as well.

quick sked question...
1 day left of bid period as a reserve line holder, then regular line holder next bid period. can skeds put a 3 or 4 day on your sked into normal days off awarded as a regular line holder? basically, they would use the one rsv day in this period and 2 or 3 of your days off awarded next bid period as a regular line holder...wouldn't at least those 2 days in the next bid period be GS?

Alright I'll go look at the numbers again but they have decreased in the last 6 months. What percentage change of a 200 pilot group would you call "stable"? If it dropped to 150 in April, would that still be ~200?
And now that I've looked, here are the numbers over the last year
3/12 - 323
4/12 - 310
5/12 - 318
6/12 - 312
7/12 - 293 (4/8/3/3 duh)
8/12 - 287
9/12 - 279
10/12 - 244
11/12 - 234
12/12 - 231
1/13 - 232
2/12 - 218
3/12 - 208
So that's a roughly 33% decrease. Or a 1% increase in total staffing as of the 3/13 category list.
Sorry dude. 244 is mid 200s. In fact we've only been in the low 200s since this month.

Your numbers for jan, feb and march are different than that of crew resources, so I'm not sure where you're getting your data. If you're looking at ALPA, their documents are up to a month and a half prior to the claimed date of category list. There is a 7 pilot increase of pilots out on MIL going into March. My point was simply that it is stabilizing and will find a new normal. It will not continue to go down to zero.
Let's see what the MAR update shows tomorrow for that and the projection for APR.

It will be interesting how many furloughees do come back.
Like you said, there are a number of B's that are very senior military officers. Quite a few cycle on and off duty (tee hee) various times through the year.
