I believe when the first wave of furloughs came around June '08 the sen. # was up to about 560 I was furloughed Aug '08 and I was in the upper 400s number 4 from the bottom if I remember correctly.

So are we done with furloughs for the time being? Anymore planned? Whats the story?

I wouldn't hold your breath mate, you might suffocate. Trans States is a thing of the past for me. Don't get me wrong though, if Trans States decides to get its stuff together and I'm still on the street, I'll come back. Chances of that scenario playing out: Slim to none. :o

oh im not holding my breath...im already back in school. i figure we'll be bought by RAH within the year.

Might be one of the best things to happen to TSA in a long while...MIGHT BE!

According to the latest bid packet, the most junior guy on property is #309. Last year there were almost 550 pilots on property.

No kidding. It would be nice to get rid of one of the worst "management" teams in the industry.

can't really remember, but i believe i was number 250-260 or so, sound about right foxcow? didn't know i'd have been that close to the bottom. Also, any truth to you guys getting 5 birds back from mexico?

Actually, you would be around the 230s or so. You would have a crappy line rather than reserve like me in STL.

I have not heard anything about 5 returning aircraft from Mexico but I will ask around.

That would be the quickest lease I've ever heard of! I still remember picking one up from MX in HOT.

Those were fun times weren't they!?
