10yrsgone??? Heard anthing yet?

I haven't heard squat for what it's worth.

and on another note, approaching the point of no return has changed some minds. 3 years ago, I was never coming back. With the last chance (possibly) approaching, I have a different outlook.

With regards to the the question from the guy with Villapoto on his avatar (or was is Stroupe, both 51?) anyhoo, 10 years, you have the option to bypass, the extra 4 years added on from the merger are not an option. When they call, you accept or resign.

I have heard nothing, however when I do, I will make sure I post it.

I feel like we are getting warm.

No real reason to post this. Just felt like it. I'm sure you can draw some sort of airline or Delta parrallel with it. Enjoy.

Am I the only one still worried about getting furloughed with the parking of the DC-9's and the 757's that are still painted in Northwest colors? There's nothing I can do about it either way, but the way I understand it is fleets like the A330 and 747-400 are way over-staffed.

I always worry about furloughs.

But I'll just shoot from the hip on this one, international categories are always over-staffed in the winter. If they needed to cut more they could've in the last AE.

My guess is we can park some planes, what 28 DC-9 30/40s?, and bring some out of the desert and bring in the new 90s and mix it all together and be even or in need of some bodies. Not to mention, what aircraft are short staffed? The 320?

Rumor is that 5521, one of the 5500 series 757s has been painted, and that the rest will get the new paint over the course of the year.

Looks like they'll be sticking around.

The number I heard was 29 757/767s coming out of the desert. Does this sound legit? I didn't realize we had that many in storage--
