A buddy of mine who's flying the whale for JAL out of Hawaii is worried he might be losing his job pretty soon. Is you carrier hiring and would you recommend it to others? I know he's looking for other options as we speak...

They are not hiring at the present, though I would recommend them. I know Korean is hiring with fair travel policies so your some a decent amount. Have him try that, but I dont think you have the option to upgrade. You fly the seat your hired into.

I know the Omni FO that is topic here. He was the June class and as a result was furloughed. Unfortunately he only got one trip in after IOE so doesn't really have a feel for the company yet. The good news is Omni is hoping to bring all back by summer.

8 Captains and 3 FO's? Do they not consider seniority for a furlough? Or, do they upgrade without regard to seniority?

We are unionized, but without a contract at the present time we still operate on pre-existing policies and practices set forth by the company. Basically they are currently the sole author of the rule book until a contract is agreed upon and mediations are completed with. To answer the above question, yes they furloughed out of seniority. The good news is, even without a contract, the company intends to give those guys thier jobs back before they hire new people. Hopefully it'll be soon!!!

That's not exactly true. They furloughed from the bottom of the DC-10 seniority list, in-order. Some of them were direct-entry captains, from ATA. However, the last 757 new-hire class are junior to some of the furloughed DC-10 crew members, on the Master seniority list.
