Uncle Sam's post did get me digging into the seniority list and category lists to see how many furloughed guys were senior to me, how many mil leave guys, potential retirement guys, etc...
Turns out there are about 1100 pilots senior to me who are currently not at Delta or bidding, who could come back conceivable and bump me downwards! That includes like 170 furloughed, 250 mil leave, and a ton of sick guys. I figure that the furloughed guys who haven't come back have found other jobs and won't. But the military leave guys are probably all getting close to a retirement or bumping the Col-BG wall and they could come back, in fact it seems likely to me they would. Now the NBC SIC list... no idea what that's all about, or how many of them might ever get back to the line.
Anyways, it just seems that having 1100 potential dudes out there who could show up and bump you downwards, after 10 years, is an awful lot. I'd think most of the furlough guys will drop off the list over the next year as they exceed 10 years out.

I think its important to note that, aside from the furlough bypass guys, the number of "inactive" (sick, Mil leave, etc.) pilots is relatively constant. As guys/gals come back from Mil leave, sick, etc. someone usually goes back out to replace them.
Just for numbers clarification, we currently have 243 guys out on Furlough bypass. We had 300+, but roughly 70 of the came back last year. They have until 2015 to come back, if I'm not mistaken - so Many may still be interested in returning at some point. (If they spread it out over several years, though, even us junior pukes won't feel much pain.)

Where I go to find stuff is full of questionable characters, shifty go betweens and people who say don't be a drag, just be a queen.
But no matter where I go, with the rope tied to bring me safely home, I always seem to run into this dog doing the same thing as I but never with a safety rope...

Speaking of, I searched for "dude" yesterday after someone got a bit offended at the term. DO NOT SEARCH FOR THAT WITH SAFE SEARCH OFF. It's bad bad news.

I flew just south of there last night on the way out to the west coast. It was unreal seeing all that water that had spilled over onto all the adjacent lands.

Strong rumor. All APC posts containing the word "dude" will be moved to the regional thread.
