UATC,
Sorry, I was enjoying the weekend.
To clarify, Eight offerred a Jan09 en-route course with 4 each to BN and ML. As of Fri, six said yes and had/are in process fo resigning, with one still in negoiations over $$$.
One has decided to stay put in Blue, probably taking $30K bonus.
Also heard two ex Blue (not controlled for approx 10yrs) offered TMA positions. That was heard second hand so could be a myth.
