175 west 125 east. This means AWA pilots hired in 2004 will hit the street while east new hires remain.

What would it have been if the Nic. award had been implemented?

Under an implemented Nic. all 300 would have been those hired since the merger.

Remarkable. They hire right up until they furlough. I'm glad I didn't go back. I don't think I could have handled going through another round of downsizing and watched people who had already been furloughed twice, be furloughed a third time.

Mismanagement on an epic scale. What a shame.

If the announced numbers are accurate no east pilot who was previously furloughed will be hit by this.

Yet...

Oh don't worry. Plenty more AWA pilots to serve as furlough fodder before that happens.
