It would be a complete 180 from what we have been feeling, but I'll believe it when I initial the release for one.

Any news on that rumor regarding the aircraft from overseas?

Also, does Piedmont still have a pool? If so how big?

I think PDT still has a pool with about 30 in it...I know that PSA still has one and it has around 30 as well.

I don't know if there is a pool or not, but I hope there is and I hope they use it soon.. and things don't go the other direction. Right now my plan is furloughs in the fall until I see otherwise.

I think the update was they lost 4 planes and were going to furlough. USairways gave them life again with more flying then expected in the summer and thus furloughs were put on hold. Last we all heard at any USairways W/O was that the plan was still to have PDT lost the additional 7 planes in the fall. Thus a total loss of 11 planes. Which would lead you to believe furloughs are coming, and hopefully can be medigated in some way but that is all TBD. ANYONE from PDT know for certain what the latest status is on the 7 birds being removed?

Yep there is about 30 of us. However i am not expecting a call. We got an email from BT saying he wants us to come do the sim (the email was sent like oct 08). Since then we havent heard anything from him
