The union has told the membership that they are looking at a LOA to cover the GAC pilots being hired to crew them while we train captains for them. It would have to be voted on by the union membership.
It sounds like more than a rumor and far from a done deal.
Other than that, we are still giving preferrence to the former ATA pilots. Will GAC be added to the list? Nothing has been said yet.
I spell worse than my 10 year old son, but I can hold my own flying a MD-11. At least my mother is still proud of me.

Well lots of people care about good grammar. All my elementary school teachers cared as well as my high school/college English teachers.

PS: why is someone from UPS or FredEX even lurking in these columns? Their business model precludes them from furloughs and other financial hardships. Or does it.....?
I know, it is so we can learn something about the industry...........cough............ok, did you learn something? Next up.....disputed pairings at YouKnowWho....does this give you insight.......?

Cause as is typical in the biz, we have buds at Gemini, World, Astar, ABX, Polar, Atlas, Southern, ATI...... from our previous lives, etc. Also, many of my fellow UPS drivers came from these companies. Personally, most of us only wish our compadres well and thus an interest. Oh, and were nosy <g>

You haven't missed anything. As an interim solution what you are suggesting is plausible. But our labor union would never agree to allow Captains from another Company that went BK, to permanently fly left seat just because we may acquire the birds he/she use to fly at ABC Airlines. I don't believe any labor union would allow that.
