While the company's ridiculous stand on the PBS system is going to bite them in the behind, the furlough question is more than a little strange. The last investment presentation clearly demonstrated that the growth in aircraft was going to continue to approx 115 airframes by EOY 2020. The projected staffing numbers were going from about 9.6 crews to 7.8 within the same period. This projection is nothing new...it's merely a different perspective from how the scheduling is going to work and who it affects. The company wants to maximize the number of flights while not having to carry what they consider to be unnecessary overhead...we only are going full blast 6 months out of the year (for now). Realistically, it's a business decision on their part and that it would impact our lives in a negative manner is hardly a surprise, nor could we expect management to care. Who it affects is also not a surprise..basically the senior guys who are cruising in the big bucks are going to have to work more for what they make, the pure reservists will undoubtedly work more, particularly with respect to more rescue flights due to short staffing. Peeps barely above the Mendoza line of pure reserve probably won't see much in the way of change, except hopefully few pure reserve slots in the bigger bases and more mixed lines. The fact that we are about to be short staffed again really isn't the issue...the issue is the egregious non-compliance on the part of the company with regards to getting rid of the solver and finally getting around to honoring seniority appropriately in terms of scheduling.
