Everyone is different. If you’re coming back to an airplane where you have 5,000 hours in versus 500 hours since you got displaced recently probably makes a big difference too. Or once you're recalled, you need to learn a new airplane while also shaking off the rust will take some time.

Looks like little ole PDT is still hanging in there with the 145s and 700 pilots. Maybe AAG forgot they're there?

I thought PDT was severely short staffed before all this?

Anyone remember IPX. International Parcel Express? Yeah, I didn't think so. The FAA got tired of UPS subcontracting everything. Something about operational control. This would have been around 88. UPS decides to buy a certificate so they buy this IPX airline that had a few DC-8's as a UPS subcontractor. The UPS seniority list started with like 30 guys flying a few DC-8's. Then the other subcontractors were brought in. Evergreen, Ryan, Interstate, and Orion, which were the other subcontractors. Next thing you know, UPS has an airline and a seniority list. An in-house union beat out the teamsters in 1990 and the rest is history.
I only bring this up because I think, as much as I hate them, Amazon is going to be a thing. Not sure if the Feds will force them to start their own airline but there is a fair amount of oversight directed at the FAA these days. I got hired at UPS in 1990 and it was not considered a good job by most. At least a quarter of my class bailed in the first year. So, my prediction is, Amazon buys Mesa.....

This wouldn't surprise me a bit. Or something like it.

My dad quit UPS during ground school in 1989 to go to the original Midway, after he was furloughed from bankrupt Braniff 2. Hindsight being what it is and everything it worked out for him, he wound up at Morris Air and the rest is history. At least it taught me to be always be prepared for no income.

Definitely not afraid of applying to places like these but I've applied to 20-30 pilot openings over a 3 month span and almost all will not touch someone with furlough recall at a major. I believe a lot of TSA/Compass pilots are getting calls for these from what I have heard. Which, to be honest, deserve it more.Don't be afraid to look into places like wheelsup. You aren't making what you're making at your carrier, but you'd keep current.

Best base, best crews... DCA is good though too. Especially if you’re senior to me

Could be worse. They could have fired the probies just because or found some “training deficiencies.”
