Only the old and grumpy are going to be furloughed. Thats straight from the training department.

I would imagine youll fly 50-60 hrs/month on reserve. We will always be short staffed, even if they downsize. The days of sitting at home all day without being called on reserve are far gone!

OT - How do you delete posts? I notice the post I originally responded to is now gone... how do you delete on this BBS. I poked around a little and haven't found it yet.

Copied and pasted from the first line of the second posting in this thread.

"Well the airline staffs something like 10 pilots per aircraft."

thats good to hear...i may sound like one of those young ambitious types...however i just don't want to sit around all day and fly once or twice a week...if i'm stuck by the phone i'd rather go out and fly...
