Interesting.
I wonder if anyone in flight ops is even remotely aware that the pilots are getting ready to go on strike.
...and why recall 14 over the summer when we have an overstaffing issue every Sept?
Something is going on here that we aren't aware of. We are missing a big piece to the puzzle.

Maybe or 3000 hours of Open time in June made them shudder a little.
No I didn't get a call, but I would deny it if I did. But I am in a unique position where I am making a decent living not flying and wouldn't want to risk being on the street again.

I would suspect the company will cancel recalls and upgrades in short order if we're granted a release. The company must plan and operate their business as normal up until that point. Why would you spend money training recalls/upgrades when you know those same pilots may potentially strike within 30 days?
For cryin' in the soup I hope I'm dead wrong. I can't think of a worse way to mess with our furloughed pilots' lives right now then to have them consider quitting their current job, accepting a recall here, and then having NO job when a release occurs and their recall is canceled.

I hear a backdoor deal was made that we never get a release. The company will proceed as usual. Meanwhile ALPA sweeps up dues from us every paycheck and no one has big enough cahonies to stand up and push the NMB.
