Bypassing is a huge risk as well because you may never be called again, and many of you would be back in the saddle much faster if this works out. It sounds doubtful yes but bypass option is good for everyone including the company and I don't see how people don't see that, I have many friends who were not called in the first wave as well, I hope that everyone gets to come back as soon as possible.

Very good points. I believe if one is going to move on, they'll do so right away. Waiting those 10 days -to see how things pan out-, will not be an issue for those not coming back. it'll be be improtant to those -like you said- with prior commitments that still want to come back. It is a hard decision to make.

Only got to hear about half of the call (it was pretty short). If they get the bypass option in the middle of this recall process, what happens to those who have already resigned? Do they get their # back, classified as a voluntary?

Slightly different note, ALPA's been studying the short-staffing prior to the block hour increase...did they ever come up with a proposed number needed to properly staff?
