The April ANC category list has the following:

CA 79
FO 60
SO 74

I added the block and reserve together for these, so the total is 213. Do not know if these numbers include the long term sick folks or not.

As of the August 2009 Pilot Position Report the numbers are:

What a deal. :rolleyes:

Actually in a list of the worst to best, you don't want to be #1. Our 12th place finish is worse than United's 16th place.

Still, from a corporate perspective the merger has many benefits.

Nearly half of which will be absorbed by Delta's 777 growth.

And shrinking quickly, however this APA had minimal changes on all fronts, including the freighters. Which is weird because you would think that they would keep pulling it down slowly.

Not if they have contracts that they need to be flown until Dec 2009.

There is no reason why they would announce furloughs early. As US Air learned as they went far below min staffing as furloughs began and pilots used sick time and other benefits that would be lost if not used.

Just saw a flash ad for DELTA on APC. DELTA is a sponsor of APC?

Dec 2010??
