And how are furloughees and the DEN accident related??

Hey twitter, maybe he just added after the furloughee question a little support hoping the crew did a good job. You must have come from express. Did you?

So what do his comments have to do with coming from express? That would just mean he had less scabs, good training, a stand up pilot group, and better work rules.

On the topic of the post, I have been hearing that there are 2 possibilities:

1. All furloughees recalled in January, hiring will begin again late spring.

2. All furloughees will be back and retrained by May, hiring will begin again in August or September.

CAL will have to hire soon, they are getting new airframes this year.

either of those options would be great, i am cautiously optimistic, however I will be surprised to be back on property that early. thanks for the info however! if you hear anything more, pm me. have a nice Christmas!

They aren't directly related at all, however I thought it to be a bit arrogant to be worried about when I will be back on property and not express my concerns regarding the crew on that flight. I can only imagine every decision they made will be questioned, so I hope they made good ones and can come out of this accident as the professionals they most certainly are and not scapegoats.

On a sidenote, I would hope you would have a bit more sympathy for a fellow furloughed pilot. Instead of questioning the intention of my post perhaps "I don't have any information about possible recalls but I am sorry you guys got furloughed and hope to have you back on property really soon" would have been more appropriate. Attitudes like yours make me sick. I am sure you will be the first in line to pick up open time on the FO side should it be available. Regardless of whether you have been furloughed at some point in your career you could obviously care less about the 147 on the street. You should be ashamed of yourself. That attitude brings our pilot group down.

VERY WELL SAID Skywdriver! I am one of the 147 also and agree with you wholeheartedly. Have a nice Christmas!
