What say you Buzzpat.
The per diem must have been higher back in Guam.

Alright I'll go look at the numbers again but they have decreased in the last 6 months. What percentage change of a 200 pilot group would you call "stable"? If it dropped to 150 in April, would that still be ~200?

And now that I've looked, here are the numbers over the last year

3/12 - 323
4/12 - 310
5/12 - 318
6/12 - 312
7/12 - 293 (4/8/3/3 duh)
8/12 - 287
9/12 - 279
10/12 - 244
11/12 - 234
12/12 - 231
1/13 - 232
2/12 - 218
3/12 - 208

So that's a roughly 33% decrease. Or a 1% increase in total staffing as of the 3/13 category list.

Sorry dude. 244 is mid 200s. In fact we've only been in the low 200s since this month.

For what it is worth - I just got off the phone with Flightline and was told that the Perdiem packages for tax purposes should be out in the next few days.

Thanks for calling and getting a update. Every year it gets later and later. Eventually they'll be arriving April 14th!

80' it's not excuses. The company was going to hire between 100-150 this year, that's it. Over 100 have come back in the last year, and it wasn't expected. The last couple of months have been a trickle, so I'll grant you that. The good news is that there are only 198 B's left. The A's are mostly General or Flag officers who may never come back. Some of the B's as well, as I flew with a Marine two star once. There are also just a few over 200 furloughees to come back as well.

quick sked question...

1 day left of bid period as a reserve line holder, then regular line holder next bid period. can skeds put a 3 or 4 day on your sked into normal days off awarded as a regular line holder? basically, they would use the one rsv day in this period and 2 or 3 of your days off awarded next bid period as a regular line holder...wouldn't at least those 2 days in the next bid period be GS?

Yeah thanks PF.
I was getting ready to shoot them an e-mail.
Figured they'd be out already.
