PSA Announces 35% of Pilots Furloughed Oct. 1
DAMAGE REPORT:
PSA has announced 1,141 furloughs.
- 723 pilots (35% of the seniority list)
- 418 Flight Attendants
An additional 45 Engineering/Maintenance positions will be eliminated and outsourced.
While Envoy & Piedmont are presently furloughing a fewer % of their pilots, this is only
the beginning and there is no safe harbor at the wholly-owneds. Expect MGMT to come for personnel and/or pay. This is only the beginning so long as there is no government intervention or passenger demand begins to significantly and reliably trend toward the passenger counts of recent years past. Good luck out there.
