I dont. I also have no desire to work for PDT and start on the bottom all over. However it does not mean i want to see PDT go down in flames. If anything i want pilots to be recalled and maybe some hiring. Most of the poeple i was hired with still teaching, and i would like to see them on property w you all.

You seem like a bit of a special case yourself. Can't quite figure you out, but they didn't give me a Psychology degree so I'll leave that one alone.

But damn, to wish a junior reservist FO job at PDT on anyone is just wrong. I wish such a fate on no man, friend or foe.

By the way, that TV show sucks.

I moved up 3 numbers since July...not sure if those people left or if they just took a leave. I am keeping track now and checking the list every month. People are leaving but management has no plan on calling people back since the fall is approaching the flying is suppose to drop off at the end of September.

Right now we have 192 FO's with 180 being active (not on leave)

With 44 aircraft that is 4.36 FO's per plane total or 4.09 FO's active per plane.

So a while ago I asked Hey Buddy what are staffing minimums per aircraft are and he said we staff 8 pilots per aircraft. At 44 planes that 352 pilots. Currently there are 378 on active statis removing all pilots on leave. So with that logic unfortunately I don't see any more recalls any time soon. No rumor with this, just trying to use SBY skewed logic here. Although logic and SBY should never be used in the same sentence...

I know an FO who went to Compass like a week before they were sold, but that's all I've heard. Oh, and a captain went to ATC about a month ago.
