SOAB! I assume that they would just furlough the 70 newest pilots, and I am sitting in the mid-sixties from the bottom! :mad:

LOA for 30 folks or furlough 70 folks???

I'm from Kentucky but that math don't compute...

I *believe* the reduction in flying starts in Sept but the TOWOP's start in August. My guess is they will ramp it up depending on the takers. I'm on reserve and hardly ever fly, we must be pretty over staffed right now.

Indeed...but they are looking for Captains to take COLA as well....my guess would be that the bottom 70 FO's....1 senior Captain is equaly to about what maybe 4-5 FO's??

I dunno....and again it was "Up To" 70.....I think the COLA is just to get the ball rolling.

Im here just over a year....I dont really know how much hiring we did last year...but i dont think it was a whole lot...

Hows Chinese Mesa doin??? :p

We hired quite a few people last year. I'm just now coming up on one year with the company and there are just over 100 people below me on the list. It really is unreal just how quickly things changed with the industry. This time last year a pulse would get you in the right seat, now there isn't a day that goes by that I don't worry about having a job tomorrow. :(

That's all right - seems like you're a glass-half-full kind of guy LoL
