You'll have to forgive the brother, this is the first piece of good news we've gotten in a while around these parts, and having people post lies and speculation is certainly in poor taste and it shows the caliber of some of the people that work in the industry...I guess some tools just slip through the cracks.
I got what you were saying though.
Cheers

This is just a pure educated guess on my part, but if you're in the top 150, I think there's a chance you'll see the inside of an embraer sometime in the near future. Again, I have no actual concrete evidence of such, just some funny math....

I feel your pain. I'm pretty happy where I'm at, but 402 time gets old after about 1000 hours of it. I'm almost 300 down on the furlough list and am a little disappointed that if we don't get back on this round, it may be a while yet.

Just last Friday there was a meeting requesting concessions and clearly the intent was to associate the concessions with the securing of a contract.

If the UAL recall brings back 100 (optimistic), that means after this deal there will still be ~ 175 who will eventually accept recall.
After the initial recall they probably wont recall any more in 2010, since 10 UAL planes leave in October.
So starting in Spring 2011, xjet needs to start recalling to handle attrition, we're down to just 6 months worth of recalls, and everyone is back by fall 2011. Without the UAL flying recalls would have been over 9 months worth of classes, and would have had to extend to Spring 2012.
At least that's my completely-unsubstantiated-wild-ass-guess of how the next few years will play out.
