I dont think you have much of a shot. If they grant you leave thats one more 30k initial new hire bill for them, good luck!

I think you need to wait untill the mandatory recall which still has not happened.

Why would it be another 30k? If they don't grant it to me, I will resign and then they will have no chance at recouping that money.

Im not sure they will see it that way. Im not saying you wont get it but we are so short staffed right now you might get a pretty good laugh when you ask flight ops for an LOA.

Dn_Wisconsin, I would not worry until everyones back and the company starts to call the mandatory call back.

Anyone know if and when the next round of calls are going out?

Straight from BBB himself...take it FWIW!!

2 more ac this year. 3 ac in the first few months of next year. 5 on firm order for 2011, options for more.

Lots of new domestic destinations coming...Dallas, Denver, Latrobe PA. Quite a few Mexican destinations as well.

Bases...ACY and FLL not going anywhere, doing great. DTW still very much up in the air depending on what DL does up there.

Thats all I got. All good news though, nothing negative.

Yeah but what is important is, do we know if he was winning or losing at the blackjack table? Our growth may depend on it. Just kidding Thanks for the update! Good info!
