One of the CP's told me it was happening in 2010, specifically referring to this spring/summer the flying would start. When I asked who would be flying, he replied "people from our seniority list". A wet lease would make more sense, seeing as how few people are JAA certified... but he didn't seem to have any concrete evidence, which all of us seem to be lacking as well.

Im kind of confused on the issue because now it would be a US registered plane, essentially flying for a foreign carrier under their name with pilots domiciled in country...For being an international jumpseater I am pretty bad about these particular requirements.... I just know how to get to and from work!

If it happens, does anyone think it would be significant growth for callbacks?

The CP I was talking to said the pilots would be pulled from the furloughed group, but it sounded like he was speculating. If indeed ASA guys were flying there, I don't see how we could man ATL, IAD and 'Nam when you look at months like January (when we don't have that much flying after the 1st week) and its all red arrows on the -200 FO side..

Every month I remain on furlough is one more day I lose any confidence in ASA being around in < 5 years. (Sarcasm - but seriously. . .it's JANUARY! and the company still can't figure it out)
The company, and our departing MEC, have managed to fill all of our brains with the PBS kool-aid, which will drastically make those "Red" arrow days disappear as the company finds more and more ways to screw all of us out of money, time off, and any current semblance of work/life balance.

I think he's assuming that if this ever did happen, nobody would want to go. They would need more pilots, so the furloughees would get called back, then displaced. I'm sure that if anybody senior wanted to go, they'd get to go. Kinda like what they're doing with the FAs for IAD - hiring new ones and sending them.
