BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

Haven't you been "puking" misinformation & cynicism since you've been on this board?

There's most definitely a high level position for you in the ranks of DPA leadership!!

Pretty much what one would expect from you when we finally get SOME good news.
Then never mind too.

It says Check Essential has been put in charge of pilot selection.

I'm pleased to announce the first class has already been filled:

Welcome back! The landscape has changed immensely. I love it....well, maybe that's too strong, its still work....but I like it a lot.

The indoc for furloughed guys is pretty casual but pay attention, most of the pay/benefits/PBS stuff has changed.

We own the night!
We definitely do...and its kicking my arse. We also own the "wake up at 3:00 AM on the east coast body clock time and fly TRANSCONS" slogan. Those are worse in my mind. I'm so over the "Be All You Can Be" before 7:00 AM first sergeant.

The FedEx guys ain't coming back, the JetBlue guys, I imagine, are split.

Now Mil Leave is "a whole 'nother thing." Most of the ML guys I know are already back. They got their retirement in and returned.

Oil prices suck. Especially in California.
I have a feeling (just like the majority of the older than 60 dudes staying until 65), a majority of the 200 bypasses will come back. Just a hunch.

Well its still next year as this year will be classes of pilots already hired over a decade ago. But still. Hope the growth AC thing comes true.
