An message just came out saying the displacement bid is canceled due to recent flying hour changes...
hmmmmm...As good as that should seem I'm wondering if that really means a reduction in pilot staffing? Maybe they did not see the need to send people through long term again if they might need to reduce staffing?

I'm sure before we see furloughs there will be another bunch of zero/part time lines. Although I think we're doing that in ORD and DFW now. And of course the long term leave of absences. I'm sure they will try to avoid a furlough but then again then have been this whole time and maybe it is not enough.

If attrition drops off (because there's nowhere to go) and they still need a RIF, then it would have to be by furlough. I guess it would be wise to check the mailboxes in the near future for WARN letters.
Still wondering if the 22 CRJ-700's will be ordered soon and maybe 30-40 ERJ-135/140's parked for a net loss of aircraft (and captain seats).
Stay tuned.

I've also been hearing rumors...from several captains...something about 21 CRJs...not 25 which we've all heard about...21...are coming our way...as well as a RDU mini base...although that rumors been around forever too...also...big anouncement on Friday?
This is what I have gathered while flying this past week...I didn't really know anything about an RDU base other than the long running pipe dream....

Sounds like an overstaffing issue... somebody else said they were blocking overtime in other bases too... that's why I asked if they were going to offer long term leaves again. They could just furlough. I read on another board that the attrition rate was only half the expected 30 per month....
