I looked at the book last night. Only 3 to 5 per year over the next 5 years.

The Airbus guys are happy where they are at. And I am sure that the Abex guys are happy with flying their own 767's.

This isn't the first fime you have been a $hitstarter, I guess you are very happy with your current position, because burning bridges doesn't seem to worry you.

Citation - What are you talking about, do you know? And how is it in any way related to this thread? Perhaps you could stick to subjects to which you are able to constructively contribute.

I've heard that rumor too, but how exactly does that or your other "comment" relate to DHL retirements?

I think the impetus for any recalls will be growth and that may take some time, altough there have been rumors of reactivating some DC-8's in the near term.

Current staffing is as it has always been, all screwed up. The 9 Captains are evidently being used on reserve pretty heavily, but as an FO, tomorrow is my 19th and last reserve day for the month and I have yet to get a full day assignment (I did go to MSP and right back last week, but that has been my only flight all month).
