Cool. So one more round and everyone is back with some new hires even. Any idea about minimums? I keep getting stopped in terminals and I have no clue.

What is the timing of the next round? Eff Jan or is it later? I guess you all noticed but finally ACY has become senior also on the FO side. It seems the very last guy on this recall has ACY possibly not by choice, the rest could have had FLL. As much as I like to fly with the "Allegheny maffia types" (I really do lol) I am glad I am out of ACY. Things went downhill after I realized that the sodium levels of the soups offered in WaWa were just unacceptable.

As far as AQP, when we did our recall training it seemed they were still undecided. Going with a contractor was expensive. Watching how other projects get canned (i.e. they recently canned the community Jepps idea after canning the full EFBs), I bet it will be an in house project and thus it will take a long while to complete. They are spending every dollar to make the books look better for the IPO. I would expect everything to be canned as long it is not a down payment on a new plane.

I hear the next recall will be eff Jan 1st. New hire classes to follow as soon as furlough list has been exhausted. Minimums for new hires will be 4000tt, not sure about jet PIC or anything else. Online application, with a point based system determining who gets a call.

Real world happened. I know all of them, I like most of them, they are part of NK now. Having said that, hiring them was the biggest "Watch me! I am sticking it to you pilots." move from JC. With Virgin guys coming in, I bet 4000 will not even be competitive.

On an entirely different note, Council 109 Representative nomination meeting is coming up this thursday.

Make your nominations now. This is your best chance to participate in your future.

Any thoughts on when I should apply for it? Before or after recall? I've got to go through the chief pilot for this right?
