Do the recalls increase the pilot ranks or does it just replace others that left? I wouldn't get too jazzed up if the list is still stagnent.

Not to be a downer, but if 8 guys die or get fired and they recall 8 that's not exactly great news. Hope I'm wrong and it's true growth.

The recall is for growth. This is good news.

Great news! Any idea which fleet they will be allocated to? I thought a previous group went to the X. What's likely in this case - the Phenom?

 

[The Kman]

All 8 to the BJ.

I heard that about a previous bunch going to the X, is that ok with the pilot group? Are people not bidding open slots in the X?

Don't take this as an attempt to rile people up. I left before the contract was finished so don't know what it says, only curious.

There was a bid for X SICs back in late 2010 and there was no response to it as we only have a small handful of of SICs left. Most of the pilots in the right seat are PICs and do not want to bid a paycut for an SIC seat. The recalled pilots are all comming back as SICs to fill the empty right seats starting with the X then BJ then Phenom. Per contract all SICs are paid the same for time in service, not type of aircraft like PICs.

The X slots that were filled by the recalled pilots were SIC positions. They were first offered to the active pilot group, and nobody bid on them. (except for a very few permanent SIC's, all the active pilots at FO are PIC's at PIC pay- bidding those SIC slots would have resulted in a substantial pay cut). The company could have forced junior PIC's into the positions (with the pay cut) but instead decided to offer the slots to the furloughees.
