You think their is going to be any recalls

 

Probably not until spring...just jockeying around existing pilots

 

11 crews? I'm think 2 airplanes? Doesn't seem like alot of flying for a new base. What about MX?

 

when they announced the midwest disaster they said the were working on a conventional agreement with another airline for 4 aircraft. guess this is what they were talking about. maybe a code share with hawaian (sp)?

 

No there isnt. I believe the crews will be brought over there and then the agreement will have some of the other carriers crews transition into the aircraft.
