With all the uncertainty with the announced IPO, I am posting this link. It is about the Airline Alliance’s lack of progress gaining partners in South/Central America.
I have heard discussions about Southwest looking at expanding south….and I have heard about the prospects of Delta…..a lot of rumors out there….This one points out the need for Star Alliance to invest in the area…..
I am not trying to fuel the rumors…just giving out a link with some information for those who may be interested….

Default Welcome back furloughs!

The vacancy awards are out and it looks like we got 16 back from the street- welcome back guys. I recognize a few names and look forward to running into you again in the jet bridge. Looks like this one made it pretty deep; the award shows the last guy with seniority #528. Out of curiosity, how many are out there that haven't received a call yet? What is our lowest number on the street? 540ish?

I'm second from the bottom. No call yet and I think I'm 508. I don't think we have 545 on the list anymore. If I recall that was my number when hired. What are the initials of the lowest called back?

Even though they have updated the list every six months to satisfy the union, they are still using the old seniority numbers from when everyone was furloughed in the bid packet. Mine hasnt changed in 2.5 years. I think your seniority number will be the same as when you left for bidding purposes. I believe there was 546 pilots on that list. Maybe they will clean up the "real" list when we get some new hires on property.

BTW, welcome back to the latest group of 16!
...and to the rest, I hear another bid of similar size is coming shortly.

Lowest # on the furlough list is 546. Looks like from #497-519 every 3rd person came back. From #520-528 all but 2 came back. Welcome back everybody

17 on the list have not been called of which I know of 7 that are not comming back on the first call. Many of the 7 are at VA and will not come back at all.

I did not get a call, but should be back on the next call whenever that is.

Probably need some stability in the training dept. personnel before the FAA will even consider AQP certification. What's the over/under on another manual rewrite/dump coming soon?
