I hope I'm wrong for the sake of those accepting recall now.

I second this. I really miss 121 flying but I do have a good job at a growing company. I certainly don't want to leave my current position until I know more about what the future of Comair will bring.

Just curious, did you get recalled? Did you bail on Colgan?

And yes. I never actually started at Colgan. Decided I couldn't live off of $18,000/yr and really didn't want to support such an organization. However, I am greatful for the opportunity and they way I was treated throughout the process.

Anyone interested in trading their 8/15 class date to 8/1. Send me a PM.
Not sure if they will allow this, but it's worth a shot.

If they were smart they would let you just drop back to the 8/15. With 35 guys looks like 23 will get sent home after one day!? Great planning.

Well, when Glenna emailed on Friday, she asked if I would be ready on 8/1, which led me to believe perhaps I had an option of deferring it. I've asked her if I have a choice, but haven't heard back. Thought I'd be proactive, and see if I could line up a willing recruit to switch w/me in case they needed a warm body in my spot, although it doesn't sound like that is the case.
