They really should get some Navy guys. :D

They have a plan for that, called pre-emptive recall, which nabs people who never served before. It’s modeled on the old British Navy press gangs. :D

I wish we had a big thumbs up icon on ACP:D

I'd rather be junior on reserve at Fedex then back on AD.

a-frickin-men.

Probably a GREAT TOP TEN list for this one...things I'd rather do than be back on active duty....

I'll start....

I'd rather stagger on a hub turn for :45 minute nap in a sleep room with another pilot's leftover steamer in the trashcan before going on a 3 leg AM departure than go back on active duty....

I'd rather do LMS every day and then have them hiccup and make me start over after completing all but the last module....over and over....than go back on active duty...

I'd rather layover in FNT than go back on active duty...

I'd rather do walkarounds in 1/2 an inch of **** and de-ice fluid than go back on active duty...

(you get the idea....)

I'd rather fly an airbus than go back on active duty.

I’d rather look at a pay log that makes me beat my chest and grunt “ahh money” than get a magical active duty paycheck for flying 2 locals and sitting at a desk writing OPRs and dealing with queep all month.

I really doubt that they are targeting airline pilots. There are plenty of rated retired guys laying on their couches right now seriously thinking about going back into AD. I personally know two retired AF pilots who now cannot hold a class one that are calling their congressmen.

So we're down to 998.:D
