I was told the current pilot surplus (which I heard is around 150 to 200 pilots) is going to be on top of their list for discussion. If the outcome of these meeting is not good, it might be a week or two before it filters down to us, and this would be more in-line with Pennekamp remarks.
I know our contract has language protecting us from the ‘F’ word, but I’m also sure Delta and Sky West Inc. have plenty of well paid lawyers who can find crafty ways around this if need be.
Well if you are right, there is nothing we can do about it. Just do what we can to keep our numbers high and maybe that can lead to more lines. (dreaming) Other then that, it is out of ALL of our hands. I chose to come to ASA and not another regional and John is right, if I get f..ed I may change my tone but as of now ASA hasn't given me a reason to doubt them. If they do F..ed me I will just wait to get recalled. Don't see why I wouldn't by summer flying so I get a few months of vacation. haha just to make a bad situation look a little better.
