Why they don't bring them back I don't know. The 400's and about 4-5 classics are still moving fairly consistantly. They've probably lost more than 7 to attrition in the last couple of months.

From my weeks at Fort Fumble, we asked about the furlough's (6/400 1/200) and why not bring back. The answer was "we will bring back if needed for more than 6 months, this is a spike in operations."

The "spike" has gotten bigger, pulled transition FO's out of 400 class 2 days before finishing GS. Those leaving is almost 2 a week right now (per training dept.), so why don't they bring them back I have no idea especially as the furlough "TBN" will not be happening and it is rumored that many including the CP say we should be gearing up for hiring but PS won't have it, any of it!

I wish I could spoon with PS in 782. That would make the flight go by even faster.

Saw a couple of Kalitta classics in IQQ over the weekend. Guess they were part of the corn runs.

Is that what is being hauled? Corn?

Exco guy said the average since beginning of the year is 9 a month are leaving now with more to go.

I will have to go back to the sim for a PC as still telling me 6+ weeks before I can start OE and my 120 days will expire!!
I thought the school house closed down for a while and all the OE is finishing up...??

Its seed corn.. and the company has hauled it alot in the past.

I dont know about 9 per month since Jan ...but the number is pretty significant considering the group of AA guys that went back.

Yes it is closed down apart from AQP stuff. The problem is IOE. They put so many through so quickly that the LCA's can't keep up and are unable to do one "student" per stint out there a month so 1 "student" needs 2 bid months.

I just looked at next months lines and I figure there is at least a dozen a head of me not shown on the bid lines and thus need IOE to start or either wrap up, so I will sit and wait.
