Flight benefits and CASS I think is stablished the Friday of that first week.

Also your direct deposit is stablished that day. The first pay is by check, next ones by direct deposit.

This will come to an end once they announce furloughs because the 140/135's will be gone by years end.

Only the 135s get returned this year. And there are only 18 of them. There will still be a couple of hundred going flowing to AA this year which offsets that.

I forgot to add the PBS nugget. PBS=Less pilots needed,less upgrades.
So in a way, it does offsets the parking of planes.

Thanks Team Tony and the yes voters for your future!

A buddy of mine was in the class. He is Italian. He is flying back to Italy to hang out for a while, using his flight benefits and getting paid guarantee.

incorrect, currently 20, and has been for a while.

Plus the remaining 10 ATR's go away too.

There's definately not 10 ATR's. everyone seems to think we have all these ATR's. I haven't seen 10 on the ramp in San Juan in atleast a year and a half. Miami had 10 or so, but in SJU we've been running on 7 or 8 and less for months, and for march we only have 5, on a good day. Throw in the matchig ps2 checks and were down to 2 or 3 sometimes for 3 overnights and 2 daily sequences. Pretty smart huh?

If we are going to be all technical. The actual number of 135's is 19. Take a look at your JD*all. We do not have a 135 with the tail number 004 that I have ever heard of. I'm sure they plan on bringing back the saabs anyway!
