1. 08/21/09 That will be the date. Make certain you invest heavily everything you own on this date. Everything will turn around exactly on this date and not a day before. And if you believe me, my friend Mr. Madhoff and I would like to run your portfolio.

It will come back when it comes back. In the mean time just focus on being the best fantasy baseball manager you can be and focus on "positive energy." My Dad, got cancer and turned over this new leaf of "positive attitude=positive energy= positive results" and he is still here...So maybe all this new age crap works?

I promise you that when my sh___y regional recalls everyone and starts hiring again, I will march your resume into corporate so you can get this same sh___y regional job, and you will never have to listen to Fatman, Napoleon Dynamite and H___s ever again! All this because I like your attitude and where you went to school!

I say the furloughed are going to come back later this year. I doubt we'll see hiring any time soon though, obviously places like Great Lakes will always be hiring but other than that I really doubt we'll even see hiring next year. The airlines lag behind the economy and everyone is saying we still haven't seen the bottom yet and judging by the unemployment figures we're still going down. And not to be a downer but there is no sign that the airlines have hit bottom yet as well. Traffic continues to drop. One positive thing about all this is that the regionals will rebound a lot faster than the majors.

1. No real new hiring until spring 2010, perhaps summer. Recalls will happen this summer, but unfortunately regional recalls will be seasonal employees this time around. Next spring recalls will be back on a permanent basis, followed by hiring off the street by summer.
2. Regional hiring will begin at:
-Colgan
-Skywest
-Mesaba (I think you guys will benefit most from the DAL/NWA merger)
Major hiring will begin in 2010 at:
-Delta
-Southwest
-Airtran
(if you want to live in ATL, 2010 looks like your year!)

I agree with Rightseat Ballast that any significant hiring will not start till 2010. There's a small chance that some regionals might start hiring in the Fall of 2009.
As far as Majors are concerned, I agree that DAL and SWA are about the only ones that I think will hire in 2010. Foreign carriers like Emirates and Cathay Pacific will probably start to hire as well in 2010. That's my guess.
FDX and UPS are a wild card but I think they will also hire in 2010 not due to expansion but due to attrition and retirement.
