if they had a good idea 6 months out, makes you wonder why they didnt stop the hiring at Eagle, and still have not really cracked down on any sort of furloughing....

We're still short staffed right now in ORD. Seems like things are going to change though. Least I have a knot in my stomach right now that I will experience the fuuuuu word... Hanging on tight here. I really don't want the doom and gloom. I just feel it coming.

If you'd rather the $$ than the time off later consider taking some vacation while you guys are still Captains. What's happening with the DFW ATR people?

if your a captain on the line now you might not get displaced on this bid. There is a net displacement of about 66 captains, and i think there are more than that, that were awarded captain but have not attended training yet.

Longer sits, longer workouts.....
