Heard an absolutely amazing rumor today regarding how they plan to start re-staffing the S5 planes. I won't repeat it as it's just a rumor, but if it turns out to be true you will all crap yourselves in amazement. Keep your eyes peeled for an announcement in the next week or two.
seriously, whats the point of posting this? just dangling the carrot?

All 176 Furloughs will be effective in September. The loss of F/O's will be covered by the "excess" captains who will be on reserve until being downgraded. With some downgrades effective as late as December, it appears the company will make sure they have enough reserves to cover the lost pilots at any time. Also, there are still some DEN pilots being transitioned to Shuttle now, and they will cover the gaps at Shuttle left by the furloughs. The simulators will be busy, mostly because as the 135's leave us rapidly, those pilots (or an equivalent number of CHQ pilots) will have to slide over to Shuttle for the 175 deliveries. There will probably be some displacements from Republic over to Shuttle as well, now that it seems certain our F9 birds will remain at idle. The company will do the right thing and retrain everyone on property, mostly because Embraer is still subsidizing our training costs (those new 175's come with free training for the pilots).

Okay, hint, hint. Give me a hint. Really, though, crap themselves in a good way or a "Holy Crap Batman call the Union" way?

You know, not a damn thing this company does surprises me anymore. Not saying I'm not happy with the way the ship's been run. But I just don't understand half of what they choose to do.
I'm glad (if this rumor comes to fruition) it will satisfy everyone involved. Now I'm just dying to know. Wouldn't have anything to do with red-tails would it?
