From the NWA MEC Hotline:
NWA informed ALPA today that it anticipates recalling pilots sooner than previously scheduled due to higher than anticipated flying levels. NWA said it plans on recalling 40 to 50 pilots for the remainder of 2006 and it expects recalls to continue at a reduced, but steady pace throughout 2007 to support growth and attrition. NWA will begin the recall process by sending out 75 Preliminary Notices of Recall (PNRs) this week and plans to have 20-25 pilots in training this October. As always, please remember that NWA’s staffing plan may change. Currently, there are about 700 Northwest pilots on furlough.
That sounds about right. Send out 75 PNRs and you might get 20-25 pilots to come back. Funny how this announcement comes the same day the Pilot Agreement is implemented. I guess pilots are cheap now so they can hire some back.
