FWIW, Air Wisconsin is now accepting pilot resumes for potential hiring in early spring 2010. They still got a few guys on furlough, so we will see...

I can see this recall going the way of all the late 07 new hires. Lets hire just in case we get some flying that's not set in stone. Before you know it, Delta changes their mind and we furlough another 200!
Word! Don't forget who your dealing with, Delta/Comair. Excitement or hope are not two emotions I'd associate with any news coming from them.

well actually think of the cost benefits on having a single fleet. Throw in the fact that all of thier pilots fly all three types 200/700/900. The savings in scheduling and maint could be fairly extensive.
The training cost are a wash, the furloughs will mean thier entire company will be in training anyways.
I dont know what the market for a 121 certificate is? Maybe republic wants another one? Compass paid something like 1 million for the ACA cetrificate.

Well I am hoping for some good news. Maybe that will bring back everybody that want's to come back (including me).
