I'm with Andy on this, lots of no shows in the later classes, I know of 5 for sure not coming back... So I can't believe there are that many unknowns, I think some will stay on to keep flight benefits because it is summer time and might already have trips planned...

Something definitely does not smell right about this situation. If people are planning to "stick it to the company," then the company will probably have to hit the "Oh Crap" button (to quote MP) on August 1st. I do not see further recall notices going out until that morning. I am one of the top 20 guys now on the list and would not mind being called to fill one of the July classes though!!!

Well I lost all hope for a recall, but last night I talked to one of comair's union guy and he said by sept you will be back. But this is one of the same guys that said don't worry you will be furlough for only 3 months.

I don't think hope for more recalls should be lost yet. Lots of factors to take into consideration here. Chief amongst them is how the major's luck seems to be changing. They're poised to make money this year, if not already. And everytime they see money coming they revamp and increase their overall availability. Comair seems to be one (if not THE one) regional able to handle a large increase in domestic flight hours, should the need arise. The crews are there on standby, and the planes (as "old" as they may be) are sitting around collecting dust.
Bubba, what's the actual amount of aircrafts still on property (flying + non-flying)?.

You guys are right at least they are recalling. I know for a fact they are about 14 pilots not going to show up to class to stick it to the company. But they are really hurting the furlough guys.

I think a few people in the August 1st. class will not show up for various reasons. I hope that people are not sticking it to the company on purpose, the aviation world is a small one and sticking it to the company is not a good idea if your career plans are to stay in aviation. I think the company is going to wait till after August 1st. to make a decision additional recalls. I hope they will decide to bring back all furloughed pilots plus some. If the China flying is true you might see some hiring
