Many are crying chicken little, chicken little. Always do what is best for you and your family, but base your decision on facts not hyperbole.
Everyone does know that AWAC did state last year that they were INITIALLY reducing the fleet (getting rid of the oldest aircraft), odd that there is panic now over implementation of said plan.
Ah the six amigos? Yeah that is pre 2012
last post here until after the announcement
not mp give the guy a break
The panic is not about a minor fleet reduction, which most of us understand is partly due to attrition...that is not what worries us...the attrition started well after the fleet reduction when management went "low information" which leaves the impression they have little or no plan, especially in the face of fleet realignments by AAG that are placing aircraft in all of our traditional playgrounds.
A year ago it was true that AAG would have a hard time replacing our lift...now it is much more apparent that we are likely just helping them to a soft landing early in 2018.
I don't want to leave this company until I get that dream corporate job or a legacy, but the advantages to staying have diminished since our staffing movement has ground to a halt like we are in a furlough.
We get maybe 1-3 people a class...and what percentage of those finish? How is an pilot supposed to look at that and say, gee I need to stick around because I can tell things are going to turn around even though now our one competitive advantage (pay scale) is now history.
