A bunch of them report having been called by scheduling after furlough or resignation...

I thought you fell off a cliff.
No posts in several days. Did you actually dive into that company or were you just having family time?And to clarify for those who haven't been hearing it, ATL will still have int'l, just no 777s, but more 330s. Less than 5 years is when the full extraction will occur. Will Cal commute?
It probably wont affect him.

Ahh, the power if advertizing.
When the Stanford kicker missed the FG, all I could think of was the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial.

Don't know why I just posted that - just shocked, I guess.

Cal's only got about 11 months left, so they'd better hurry that A/E out, and/or lift the age to 75!

It probably wont affect him.As you and I discussed a few weeks ago, the plan today is to have no 777's in ATL, but more of what you state. Basing for now in DTW, but as we discussed a few more bases that are not on our map yet as well. Time will tell if they come to fruition.
As to that company; As I stated, I only act on about 10-20% of the companies or prospectuses that I do. That was not one of them. When they were no forthright with financials in the due diligence phase, I balked. Then they had "new info" they came in to. At that point I literally stopped returning calls. I do not play that way, and offer a fair deal up front. Play games, and I walk away. The company was a mess, and it needs to go in to the pits before I would go after it. Too many hands still in the cookie jar.
As to where I have been; family time, and a few other things. Back on the radar for the time being.

I'll wind up in Detroit but I'm above the furlough line for now. My last Captain is back on reserve with over 22 years of seniority. Good times.
