Big news for MQ/NA. We're finally getting back our birds that management had been leasing to TSA.

I assumed the origional furloughs were in anticipation of loosing these aircraft.

We'll then, if I get called for a trip my last 4 days with the company then I'm going to be pissed because I'm interviewing. Very sad situation for TSA a few months ago they were preaching to us how we're going to take over the 50 seat market, shows how much management knows...

Well, this is a nice blow on top of the already announced furloughs. 10 aircraft is almost 20% of our fleet... Having said that, it IS nice to see at least one company out there that is trying to do the right thing. Eagle will still be furloughing but less than they might have...

Good luck to the TSA guys. Any word on the Chautauqua flying?
