The preliminary came out yesterday. It's on the Eagle ALPA site. Junior CA is SCA 12/99 DOH. A total of 822 pilots were shuffled around. No furloughs. All the flowbacks are going to FO.

Me too! ORD is enough to make you throw up. hahe. I'm going to see what the lines look like in JFK and try to bid back. Didn't realize that I'd be bidding almost halfway up the list there.

Funny how the world works. What I wouldn't give to be base at ORD again....

I'll trade you my east coast for your ORD!

looks like I'll be DFW fo atr. At least I'll be halfway senior on that. I think I'd rather stay in base in the atr than ORD emj.

I'm glad to hear there are no furloughs. I have a few friends at Eagle and am enthused to hear that none of them will be out of a job.

But the question I would like to pose is that for those of us in the supposed "pool" who were hired and had class canceled, what's the outlook for us? Late winter/early spring at best before Eagle even considers new hires?

Random I know, but it shows that people don't always know what they're talking about. If you've got the opportunity to go somewhere else, do that and if Eagle calls you in a few months, awesome.

Different note, does this situation sound like maybe there was a mistake - currently I'm an ord emj fo, jan 08 doh, proffer to displace to dfw in either the atr or the emb. I didn't get either, I'm still an ord emj fo. I've got over 200 below me, how did I not get dfw?
