I know talking to a LOT of PDT FO's in our Crewroom in CLT they have said, time and time again, they only flew months last summer of 30 hours etc..... Again it just seems to be USairways mindset (through PSA/PDT/Mainline) that if you are not flying close to guarantee you are not doing them any good.... Seems flawed majorly due to lack of coverage by all three, but it seems to be the way they want to run... Who knows why though... I hope all three have recalls!!! I really do...
100% agreed.

You mean 8 pilots left Piedmont before the recall? So wow.. basically nothing changed. And yet you keep hearing rumors Captains are flying right seat.

Oh Captains are still flying right seat. I just talked to one RSV CA who was deadheading home after a multi-day FO trip.

Have people been saying they have been junior manned a lot? I am sure if the airlines is thin people are getting close to 4 per year or 3 on days off.

Saw at posting for Full Time Crew Planner in MDT on PDT's website. Did they get rid of JS or does he need help?

Don't know how else to get this question answered...maybe someone who is currently flying can help.

Trying to cross the people off the list that returned to work off of the furlough list. According to the seniority list on ALPA's website (which was updated in January) the top 11 people that were called (since #11 is the most junior guy) is CB, RS, TH, WW, MH, TC, GZ, KM, AA, CC, JC.

Of those, who is still furloughed?

MH and KM bypassed. TC had to go home on the 1st day of training, so not sure of their status. Dunno who CC is but I'm guessing they bypassed as well since AA and JC were in the recall class.

As posted in the Mesa Ch.11 thread already the judge approved lease rejections for a long list of Mesa's aircraft today. Among the aircraft approved for rejection, was all 16 of Mesa's Dash-8s, which includes the ones in service with US Airways. Some of the aircraft will be returned in the near term while others are required to remain in service (4 of the United dashes specifically). I wonder when and if the 6 US dashes will be returned to the lessors.

I'll be keeping an eye on the www.avmax.ca/aircraft.php website. They had the leases on three out of the four ex 9XXHA -200s. Those aircraft were up "For Lease or Purchase" the first time around a few weeks back when Mesa filed the first exhibit for the lease rejections. They're obviously not listed there anymore, but I'm not sure if that's because they've already been signed to a new lease, or because they couldn't post them as being available until the results of the hearing on Tuesday when the leases were officially rejected.
