Word on the street is that only 11 people took the recall out of 40 letters sent. Heard that one today.

Maybe 11 people have taken the recall so far, but there is still another week left for people to mail their letters back. That number will be larger for sure.

Well, it sounds like they might have to send out more than 40 to get the 23 they want. Although; I am speculative of that number considering I am a voluntary and I have yet to receive my recall letter. Who comes up with these rumors???

On a similar note; Is there any one that is a voluntary furlough that is coming back? I would like to know as that would help me to decide what to do.

just curious, but how would the other voluntary folks recall or bypass influence your decision. dont you have unlimited bypass untill all of us invols have been offered a recall? im just trying to guage what others are thinking. While the tone here on APF is usually less that positive I think most would accept a recall if/when they are officialy asked to come back. IMHO

It won't really change my decision, but I would just like to know how many above me are coming back since I am at the bottom of the voluntary list. The more that come back above me will affect my quality of life. Just trying to gauge my position.

As Irrelevant pointed out, the last three pilot concessions led to a shrinking fleet and furloughs. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on you. Fool me three times, shame on you.

The definition of insanity - vote for pay cuts to "guarantee" growth.

I thought it was "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

I hate to step on this one as I am not a Comair guy, but I do really agree with the concept of saying heck no to concessions, if most of the company is out a job anyway, then why not just let it go under and rebuild.
