As CaptScott said, they did it with the last group, i have no idea if they are allowed, but that's what they are doing. Maybe I should look into that a little more.

The furlough letter states you are recalled effective May 1, 2009... Not date of training or qualification. Sorry, but the company is in the wrong. How are they prepared to compensate? Ill do what the union would like, but full pay for April and Hotel in ACY to sit reserve is a start. Aim high gentleman...

I agree w/Taylor, the letter does say MAY01, the training day was given over the phone and later emails. I talked to L.P. and L.S. about it, in my case, I assumed everyone as well, being schedule the 29th and 30th on RSV.
The reply was " sorry we are short, 12 guys going from ACY-FLL, you guys, the 12 recalls, need to be in base by no later than MAY01, can you do it? "
I said it was impossible to leave MIA after Check ride, and drive up there, besides my lease does not start until MAY, who is gonna pay for my hotel? (Crickets)
I am still a little confused as per my recall letter not mentioning anything about training on SUNDAY the 19th.
And of course nothing from my union.....
Any ideas?

New APC Quicktake says:
Spirit has ordered 20 A320, 24 A319, and 7 current A319 deliveries for a total of 51 additional aircraft
Where are the facts to prove this? If its not fact, and just speculation, take it down... it creates false hopes, which lead to let down after let down...

51 new airplanes? Where the hell would they put them? H terminal is 10 lbs of SHEET in a 5 lb bag and SAT didn't work quite so well. Maybe we're just buying them to give to Jetblue so they can fly even more of our routes while we just sit there and watch.
Any thoughts on the routes these planes would fly?
