I might be safe, too.

Sabre says my number is around 2371. That doesn't account for the Executive ticket (ATR) pilots, but if we're really only cutting 400 or so, I'm far enough up the list that things aren't that bad.

Then again, I think the actual number may be closer to 3000 total pilots. When I came on in October of last year, I was 2700 something. I find it hard to believe we've brought on 1300 pilots in the past six months.

You may be right.

But, then you add in the Executive guys and you get closer to 4000.

At any rate....hope you're safe!!

Today at 1pm - Get called into the Flight Safety managers office and told that May 26th class postponed and June 9th and June 23rd canceled. We all then go have beer at the bar and talk about what the hell we are going to do.

Today at 4pm - Get a call from Flight Safety manager saying it was a miscommunication and that May 26th is postponed, but June dates are still on.

We will believe it when we see it. Apparently Eagle was given the option on Friday of canceling the rest of our course down here and saving 50%. But eagle passed up on that and told FS to let us continue.

Does this mean that you paid for the RJO for a job at Eagle and once its said and done.. no job?

Keep us posted on the latest.

i don't know where you getting the 4000 pilot thing from stan. Last flow plan I checked the most recent new hire was about #2875. I figured my number was about 2075 or so. Your just a few behind me. I think a new seniority list comes out in June or July.

Thanks man.

Either way, I'm probably gonna get hosed. If I don't get furloughed, I'll be displaced and wind up on other equipment or at another base and doing the commuter shuffle. Oh well. Beats life in a cube, right?

Executive has only about 300 pilots total.

Adam, the 4000 was a number I heard recently from someone who was recently in management (a captain on the CRJ). As I mentioned, it could be in accurate.

Using your numbers (assuming you're right -as you seem to have more time to invest in doing the research which I don't ) adding in Executive, puts the number around 3175-3200 pilots.

At any rate, we should be safe. If not - please feel free to correct me.... again. You're pretty good at it.

Actually the 2875 is both tickets combined as the flow plan shows Eagle and executive. Either way you would be safe Stan, probably back to reserve but still safe. I can only imagine the talk in the crew rooms rights now.

That oughtta learn me to listen to anyone who is/was in management.

I don't think that the furloughs (should they occur) will affect me that dramatically. I'm 1/3 of the way up the CRJ list in DFW as it is now with more than 30 below me. While there are a few new-hires at the bottom of that list, the majority of those whom are junior to me have been with the company long enough to be safe as well. Time will tell of course.
