Source is very reliable and unfortunately I have relayed good information so far. I'm not happy of the info. I too have been affected.
CRJ, the training dates will be out this week for the downgrades. I did ask of the furlough list and the answer I recieved was not until the numbers and dates of completion on training are evaulated. Could be this week or not till bid packets come for Jan. Remember there is a COLA also in JAN. Sorry this didn't help but I do keep in contact so when I hear something I will let you know, unless it gets posted first obviously.
I did get a clarification on the 80 aircraft operation somewhat, and the fact is we are almost there right now. We have many aircraft that are sitting and may be used for parts, being returned, mx, spares..etc. Those are not included in the "active" planes accounted for the number of block hours we have. Rough guessing is we are ten aircraft fat right now, and there is the next round of displacements and furloughs possibly in first quarter.
