Initial layoffs were 317. Following bid reduced to 287 and the last bid 100 or so "surplus" returned to active status.
So as of today around 180 are actually on the street of wich about 55 are due to be recalled. As of today I was talking to a buddy who is in the 55 or so to be brought back and indeed no calls from the company........though they say that those calls could and the word is COULD start in the new year.
I'm not sure I agree with the timetable mentionned in the previous post..........the company wants to bring in 2 more 767 and 2 more A330's as well as new EMB170's on the next equipment bid......they have already asked for increased flying hours because they are short of pilots.
More likely everyone will be back by the summer and the word around the office is hiring in about a year.Also dont forget we have 800 or so retirements from now to 2009.
I hope those phonecalls start coming soon!
