Hiring will be just in time to staff the 717's next year and after the furlough bypass & mil leave guys have their opportunities to return.

3 of them took me from 80% on the 320 on the initial award to 85% by the time the projected categories came out. Not cool... but that's how it goes.

You know I have a man crush on you Clamp...but how is that not cool? They were hired before you. Now, they can come back with a military retirement. And most havent exactly been laying on their couch eating bon bons. We've got a CA in LA who flew F-16s and just returned from Afghanistan. I applaud the fact that he's back. You'd have done the same thing, I'm guessing, in a similar situation.

Best to my knowledge, it's not. What I have done is call crew accomodations and ask if they have any unused rooms at our hotels. If they have the time, they'll check. If there's availability, they'll stick you in one. Works about one-third of the time.

My buddy at FedEx gets 6 hours minimum on trips. Is delta comparable?

Cool for him.
The statement was more to prove the point that MIL leave can come back as they can, which is the way it should be. Things tend to get lost in translation in text on the intertoobz. It's moot now anyways as we are all deep on reserve, haha. Hold a line as an FO on the ATL 320? You can hold MD-88 CA in NY! And, you'll see more EWR than that NYC CA will ever see!

What is it with you guys? Why is it that despite the fact I read this thread religiously (maybe even addictively), the rare times I ask an innocent but reasonable question I either get insulted or completely ignored? Seriously! Am I wording it wrong? Is it a ridiculous question? Daily rig, how many hours is it???
