I would hope for those of you higher on the list. But with the closing of LGA and SJU I have a feeling that we're fat enough of reserves to handle the 6 needed crews. Good luck to those of you on the top.

That has been my feeling since the closing, let's hope to be wrong...

Not to rain on the parade, but, I heard a rumor that the 4 day off ruling might, in fact be a rumor! Has anyone gotten anything official? I just checked the union web site; NADA. no emails either. could it be a joke?

Yes. Was sitting next to my captain today when he called the union rep. We should see something in writing soon.

Nice job Art Luby!

It'll be interesting to know when will this take effect, my guess is for APR flying. Since MAR lines are done.

Never the less, good news are always welcome.
True.. but they would need to get the ball rolling on a vacancy bid, mail letters, etc. Hopefully this, combined with increased frequency, will net some furloughees back.

The bittersweet of a recall would be that there's likely not much hope, outside of serious attrition, of anyone else coming back without fleet expansion. Even then, 1-2 planes could be absorbed without much difficulty, seeing as they are operating without spares.

I still haven't allowed myself to get excited
