Adapt? To what? The regional flying thats been going on for decades? OK, I'll try. There is a lot of regional flying that is just flying, no feeding. Many of these routes are major routes. Why does Delta fly big airplanes between Atlanta and NYC and we fly RJ's?

Serious question...how does it work that they are hiring off the street? I thought they had to offer recalls to everybody first?

All furloughees were offered job opportunities at CAL, not all accepted, hence the new hires on the CAL side.

I believe they got roughly 1 for 5 of actual butts in seats. The rest bypassed or accepted and went on mil leave.
