Furloughees are returning to their previous seats in the MD-11.

3 pax DC-10's

Any chance of hiring?

New bid out, DC-10 start going away July 31st with last one gone in Nov. This accelerated retirement is to accommodate the addition of more 747-4 airframes (# unknown at this time). All returning furloughees (Welcome Back!) will goto MD-11, displaced DC-10 pilots will go to either MD11 or 747 based on what they hold.

On a sad note this will be the end of an era at World with the retirement of the 3 pilot crew aircraft. The PFE's will be missed....

Sad, but this has been coming for a long time. I hope all those PFE's either got their pilot certs or find a new home. Good luck to all those sitting sideways.

Great news about the 747-400s on the way. I am betting that World and Kalitta are trying to snap up some of the former JAL birds...
