Looks like 27 are coming back Nov 1st.

Excellent news

Curious how you know that? I was in the Airman Trainee program (had just passed the tech interview and was waiting for a class date when the brown stuff hit the fan). Great news that people might be getting un-furloughed, I know it's a long ways off from when my number might get called (if ever) but gives me a tiny glimmer of hope. What was it, 130 that got furloughed? So approximately 103 remaining?

A new vacancy bid is coming out showing 27 recalls.

137 on furlough.

Because it was in a company announcement and I know what max backfill means.

I don't post much, but let's be clear about this being 20% brought back basically immediately, and not because we had to jr man or anything over integration as I thought might happen. Also IAD growing while MKE shrinking. Doesn't seem awful on face-value. Let's hope it holds.

Looks like they’re hiring a recruiter. Could this mean there’s a big uptick in flying coming they now know about?

Also hiring LCAs and all other positions in the training department.

Looks like somebody is getting some shiny (as in bare aluminum) "new" (older than dirt) 700's from Mesa.

I hope so but I hope not . Those things will be a maintenance nightmare. Old and beat up, worn out and guaranteed to break at an outstation.
Mesa held those things together with gorilla glue and duct tape.
