Sorry to hear this for you guys. Same exact same thing happened at Southern. Same thing also happened at Kalitta last year (though the guys weren't in class yet, they were a week away and received phone calls saying "Go back to your previous employer if possible").
Yay ACMI carriers, always classy. But we pilots better act professional........

I am...or was a poolee, so I guess I just got flushed. No word from the company...wonder if I'll ever hear anything? Sad thing is, I passed on a couple opportunities while in the pool because I wanted to give Omni a go and not short-change any other employer in the interim. Guess I'm still numb from the whole OH deal...time to move on once again :/

You guys need to do some self policing with volunteer flying. There shouldn't be any reason for the company to need people to fly on days off.
If you are one of those that flies on your off days voluntarily while stepping on the necks of your soon to be furloughed brethren, shame on you.

Unfortunately, there were many takers of open time when many of us hit the street at another airline in 2008. Everyone has ideals until the bills come due, it seems...

It's sad but I think there will be a lot of people that continue to volunteer while their fellow pilots are on the streets. The union shouldn't have to put out any letter like that, people should know already. Hopefully, people get educated real quick on the right thing to do during a furlough.
