Attrition at ASA?

There is a difference. Has nothing to do with crew planning.

Stockpiling pilots...it must mean something big is on the horizon.

Yeah. Coma lines or furloughs in September.

Perhaps they just learned from last summer and are trying to prevent staffing problems, premium open-time, etc. this year.

Maybe more flying out of IAD or ORD this summer

I like the thought of some quiet plan to add flying this summer, but I agree with what someone else posted earlier about not wanting to pay time.5 for the summer months. Once the new pilots are on property, then, COMA lines or mass furloughs in the fall.

Reallly, imagine how interested the airlines would be in being able to bring pilots on property only for the busy times, but not paying them for the rest of the slow times.

At present, the COMA lines are voluntary, but I could see management attempting bargain for involuntary COMA lines.

That's my rumor. Mesa collapses and SkyWest Inc secures the United flying.

There's already a name and a section of the contract for that. Furlough.
