This will scare off more pilots and accelerate attrition even more!
Take a look at Roadrunner's
2019 quarterly earnings statement. The Active-On-Demand side which is what the airline is a part of was the only entity that made money. We bailed them out as an airline and now they want to furlough us?!
Parent company Roadrunner lost $165 million in 2018 while USA Jet Airlines made its record breaking year in revenue and profit. Now that Roadrunner continues to operate on a losing streak they want to cut costs by furloughing a profitable entity? It's
not looking good for Roadrunner. If you're still at USA Jet, get out while you can!
Don't come to USA Jet. It's a sinking ship!
Still a place for many to come to to get the resume fluff for next move. Pretty good bunch of guys to work with. We got a bunch of guys been here 15 years +. Made in through furloughed laid offs down sizing. Not for everyone but I am glad I came here 22 years ago. I made out much better than if I had been hired by UAL at the same time
