NWA anticipates recalling pilots
NWA ANTICIPATES RECALLING 40-50 PILOTS THIS YEAR (8/01/06)
NWA informed ALPA today that it anticipates recalling pilots sooner than previously scheduled due to higher than anticipated flying levels. NWA said it plans on recalling 40 to 50 pilots for the remainder of 2006 and it expects recalls to continue at a reduced, but steady pace throughout 2007 to support growth and attrition. NWA will begin the recall process by sending out 75 Preliminary Notices of Recall (PNRs) this week and plans to have 20-25 pilots in training this October. As always, please remember that NWA's staffing plan may change. Currently, there are about 700 Northwest pilots on furlough.

Easy to figure. When AA purchased TWA over 1900 of about 2400 TWA pilots where furloughed. AA cut St. Louis operation from around 450 to about 200. Just on example of the elimination of routes previous flowed by TWA. This doesn't even take into account the number of aircraft they eliminated.
All American did was eliminate competition. People had nothing to do with there plans when purchasing TWA.
Congrats to the NWA recalls.

A few of the Delta pilots have been flying lots of overtime/greenslipping. I just don't see how someone could rationalize working all that overtime with so many guys/gals still on the streets.
Luckily, it sounds like most of the Delta furloughees have found better, well atleast more stable work. About 60-70% of the pilots recalled have bypassed for one reason or another.
