Fellas..thanks very much for your information. There really is not a good answer to all this, other than drop the price of oil by about $50..funny one, I know. Capoetc, I interviewed on Mar 26 also..congrats to you. After communication with another buddy who interviewed in Feb and was hired, I believe there are about 11 in his group; I think there are about 14 in our Mar group. There may be another group I haven't accounted for. So, big WAG, but think there are approximately 25-40 in the pool. I am looking at multiple options, including slipping my RET date, applying for an ART position (10th AF/CC is currently totally opposed to AD retiree to AFRES transitions, but he changes out this summer), and of course the dreaded non-flying job. Would be great to get updates if any of you JBers out there hear any hiring/manning news out on the line. Cheers..BB

Capotec..I understand exactly what you are saying. As my AF friend, currently furloughed from UA, put it..the love of flying is a curse. Not truely, but it sure is hard to say "no" to showing up to fly that 100 ton hunk on iron, level off and feel the awesomeness of being airborne once again. Also, as my class commander at UPT put it (and this applies so much to life in general), timing is everything and there is no justice. We all have a story; it is amazing that so many aviators with so much dedication to the love of flying continue to commit themselves to an industry as violatile and unforgiving as the US airlines. Wishing all out there a great and blessed Memorial Day..BB
