If it was stolen then someone had a quick change of heart and returned it all, cuz it's there...

Do they have any ready reserve quiet rooms set up yet? I was there on Oct 31st and the whole place was a complete mess and nothing was assembled.

i got an HI6 and it said something to the extent that ALPA has pointed out a lot of things that need to be taken care of quickly and mgmt is asking for our cooperation and patience during the transition.

basically they couldn't get their act together in the 4 months they saw this coming...their was probably nothing set up as per the contract and we could have easily went to the union about it.

i'm heading down tomorrow afternoon so it should be interesting.

personally, i'm not shaving or cutting my hair until i'm back in boston.

So, it looks like 50 CA upgrades... I'd expect hiring to resume by Jan/Feb.

Wow! Now that would be good news. Expect a thousand apps a week.

I was afraid there would not be hiring until the Age 65 Rule caught up with FOs.

This one deserves a hiring thread. No, wait, there is already an existing hiring thread. I think it is back on page 99 or 999.

hahaha ... Seriously good news rumor!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for those FOs. Good luck Eagle.

Hats off to Eagle not furloughing. For all the upgrade jokes, you guys seem to have good QOL and no one wants to leave.

I am very fortunate that eagle did not furlough and i'll give them the credit for not just throwing out pink slips...QOL seemed to be pretty good...however no matter what anyone says with KBOS closing and KJFK opening the QOL for a lot of people is on the decline...Boston may only be a small part of the eagle system but almost 300 displaced pilots is a lot...thats almost the size of a small regional...a lot of unhappy people...we're all hoping for the best but AMR is always sure to disappoint...
