A friend of mine from the Baltimore area was just recalled to BWI (ramp) part time ( he was furloughed Oct 01), he was told he could take immediate fulltime at DCA, but declined because of the instability. As a side note he was top of payscale, hired in 1989 originally, and the recall pay was about $6 lower. Any recalls after a certain date will only be offered $9/hr which is the new hire pay rate. If the airline can hire hundreds at this rate, things will definitely turn around. jmtcw
