This is the best rumor I have heard in a long time. Who's 744's and 767's would they be, United? With few exceptions, I believe DAL only parked our 767-200's. I flew those for about 3 years. Strange airplane with incredibly touchy brakes, but I would love to see them return.

I would assume that they need to offer recall to the furlough bypass guys from the top down. Of course everyone has been offered recall, but I am sure some sort of notification would go out to you guys that they are looking for intent prior to staffing the classes.
I could be wrong though. I know that they sent out letters for guys that were hired in 2001 prior to announcing that they were interviewing to the masses.

Check with your coordinator. I know you have, but it never hurts to ask what type of notification they are planning to give once they will be offering classes.

There are plus or minus depending on the day about 4 ER's and 25 or so 757's in VCV and MZJ.

I know for certain there are several 767-300ERs in the desert, plus several domestic ships.

As far as the 744s, I think there are 2 of ours that are in the desert.

For acl65pilot and 80ktsclamp: Are the ER's ours or someone elses. Seems like I remember us parking some 75's, but I don't remember parking any ER's. Seems like such a waste to park 744's in the desert. Hope we get em back. I've never even been in the cockpit of one of those. Bet its sweet.

They (763ERs) are ours... There was even an A330 in the desert that recently got pulled out.

I remember years back UAL was taking delivery of the 744s and then flying them directly to the desert. So sad for such a beautiful machine.

The 744 cockpit is very nice... lots of room... 5 total seats! Once you get in the seat it's about like a 757, but the cockpit just keeps going back and back.

80 is correct the ER's are ours.

Yes reddog25! I agree! Stay away for the Airbus 320/330. Dangerous airplane. Look what happens when you try to land it in a crosswind!:eek:
