Make sure to give them 3 dates to choose from. Try to put it at the end or beginning of a sequence or you could just get a random single day off. Unless you don't care.

This probably isn't far off. Take a look at Comair during Delta's bankruptcy in 2005. I'm not 100% sure, but wasn't it around 300 pilots?

Anyone have their class starting Monday cancelled yet?

It was 300 pilots indeed. Three groups of 100 went out the door just in time for the holidays. Actually the last group of 100 was booted on the 9 th of January I think.

I don't claim to be an expert in terms of bankruptcy operations, but wouldn't it be counter-productive to just park 70 (est.) airplanes and thereby eliminate revenue? My personal feeling is that this bankruptcy was thought through a long time ago, and Eagle would not have been hiring full speed this long if airplanes were to be parked and not replaced with something else. I am sure there are some unprofitable routes that will be culled, but AMR could have parked the airplanes a long time ago with no consequences even before we were so overstaffed. I just have a hard time believeing that with this opportunity to reduce the labor costs that management has wanted for so long that they are just going to throw away a fully-operational airline (Eagle) in exchange for an unknown feed. So far at least there has been no announcement about capacity reduction beyond the regular 4th quarter stuff.
Also, my understanding is that hiring/classes are technically "on hold" which means they can be resumed at any time. Let's not forget that Eagles' plan was to bid on outside flying and if costs are reduced through this process (I am not advocating this as a good thing) then it is very possible that Eagle will not shrink at all. Let's not panic until we see what we are dealing with.

+1, but too much logic for this website!

Back in 08 Eagle "CANCELED" their classes and "SUSPENDED" all interviews. If you noticed now they are using the word "on hold". Hopefully this will only be a short stint and things will start back up in the spring.

Your Kool Aid must have vodka in it, hope I am wrong.

just talked to a check airment and 2 sim instructors...initial projections...parking 30-100 planes mostly 135/140's...

according to the Boyd group... AE will be 50-60 planes large by 2016....

good luck to all affected

Stop posting crap. Its all in the air right now. Again, Instructors and check airmans are NOT managers. And Boyd is an Idiot that for years wants to see AE fail.
