. I figured most of the 900 CAs both XJ and 9E were on the life plan.
I also think many are not punching out until they get officially furloughed, in order to retain that seniority number and recall right. Of course the balance to that is watching others get hired first at the other carriers ahead of the wave.
Fun times.

I know for a fact the company had two sets of numbers for attrition. The one for staying out of Chapter 11 was about 30 per month. The one for Chapter 11 was much more.

Nope. Didnt happen during contract negotiations, didnt happen when 30+ Captains got downgraded for no reason. Open time will be picked up irregardless of people being on the street.

Fun times.No way brother! I'm bailing as soon as a decent alternative presents itself. I know many of us at the low to mid seniority level on the 900 feel that way.
