Nah, They're doing it the right way this time. Unfortunately I'm out of work because of that.

Have fun flying your butts off kiddos. Reserves are about to get abused majorly.

We're all sad about those going. Find something to hang tight onto and come back when they call you'll be that much closer to your goals.

Hey TD check your PM's.

All 176 Furloughs will be effective in September. The loss of F/O's will be covered by the "excess" captains who will be on reserve until being downgraded. With some downgrades effective as late as December, it appears the company will make sure they have enough reserves to cover the lost pilots at any time. Also, there are still some DEN pilots being transitioned to Shuttle now, and they will cover the gaps at Shuttle left by the furloughs. The simulators will be busy, mostly because as the 135's leave us rapidly, those pilots (or an equivalent number of CHQ pilots) will have to slide over to Shuttle for the 175 deliveries. There will probably be some displacements from Republic over to Shuttle as well, now that it seems certain our F9 birds will remain at idle. The company will do the right thing and retrain everyone on property, mostly because Embraer is still subsidizing our training costs (those new 175's come with free training for the pilots).

that is some bonus for the company... each 175 comes with training paid by embraer for 10 pilots.....

And remember DON'T pick up ANY O/T whatsoever while fellow crews are on furlough!!!!!

CHQ was my first airline job that i got to fly (the other one was nothing but torture).. Despite all the nay sayers, we had a great bunch of guys on CRJ side.
Thanks for the good times people.. Now it's time to go back and look for a job with AMF, Empire, Kenmore, etc.

Heard an absolutely amazing rumor today regarding how they plan to start re-staffing the S5 planes. I won't repeat it as it's just a rumor, but if it turns out to be true you will all crap yourselves in amazement. Keep your eyes peeled for an announcement in the next week or two.
