i have talked to a couple of aa'ers that have come over here to UPS. The common demonitator is that greedy senior guys are soaking up a ton of open time. Talk about NOT remembering where you came from!

But that would be okay, right? Because you always had the choice to leave Eagle and go to UPS/FedEx/SWA...

We will begin orientations around January 3rd and training will start afterwards. Basically, the ten a month is just a number we threw out for everyone. We are probably going to have to call 5 or 6 to get one. Someone brought up that Delta had to call 10 to get one. The guys that come back will most likely be LGA Super 80 FO's and MIA 737 FO's. Another issue is that according to the contract, they can defer for a long time; something like 3 years after all the recalls have taken place (don't quote me on this). This will probably happen with guys who don't want to commute and can't live at that base. Another issue is instructors. We have to call back instructors to train these guys for the planes and that take time in itself. This thing is going to take forever.

I disagree, because whether 10 or 20 or 30 a month, next year they're only going to be recalling pilots who flowed-back to Eagle (or who were offered it and turned it down). So, all Eagle RJ Captain flow-backs MUST return to AA when recalled, without exception, unless they give up their seniority number. Since 120-170 will be recalled next year, expect almost ALL to accept recall.

The illini have always sucked. With the exception of basketball last year, them and northwestern are only in the big ten to keep up the gpa.

"them and northwestern..." Where did you get your G.E.D.? I remember a Sugar Bowl a couple of years ago. And furthermore, last year was a good year for us in basketball while two years again was an amazing year. We have been and will always be a basketball school.
