second if you read the letter clive wrote he said they are asking people to take loa's long and short term. what he failed to mention is that all the pilots that put in for an loa were denied. so i guess they dont want the pilots taking time off.
third the only furlough he mentioned was pinnacle "people" to the amount of about 50. I think they still know they are short on fo's, and come march even if there are a reduction of hours will still be short on captains.
We are really short on fo's however. my phone rings off the hook on my 20 days off trying to get me to help them out. all they say on the phone is this flight will cancel if you dont do it.
"Let em cancel the flights" they have a pool of FO's and they could resume hiring. The LOA they took was a joke... it seemed more like a poll to see how many pilots would be interested. When the numbers came back against their odds. They stopped it right in its track. Our management needs to be replaced. If PNCL Corp's board of Directors eventually comes to their senses, then firing the top five manager's would be a big turn arround for the company. Furloughing 50 janitors is not the answer Clive!! Just to have the ready reserve pilots clean the restrooms!!
