World Furloughs
 

Any numbers on how many pilots World is furloughing?

Rumor is 1/2 of list.

Half the list is already furloughed. There's currently 200 furloughed of 415 total (okay, not exactly half). In addition, there's 25 guys above the furloughs that are out on LOAs or Med Leave.

Are there rumors of another round of furloughs?

I heard bottom seniority number will be 145. That takes it back to about Jan. '01 I think. Bottom captain will be '89 hire. Going down to 5 planes. 2 pax and 3 cargo birds. NAA still has 5 planes and making money vs. WOA is rumored to not be making money. All of this is just bits and pieces I've put together. Can't say it's fact or printed anywhere.

The fleet reduction is correct. Down to 5 planes. I was curious about furloughs. I think NAA is staffed at 108. That might change with 117. Next month theArmy is using Airforce C17s to fly its cargo.

All the other AMCI carriers took a hit.

I heard World will be down to 5 a/c. If true that all those will be cargo, then the rumor I heard about ALL FAs getting email notice they're done within 6 weeks, must be true.

World currently operates 3 Pax MD11 and is now supposed to be going down to 2 Pax MD11 - I haven't heard any numbers for FA furloughs yet.

They will have 2 MD11F and 1 B747BCF in addition, so 5 total aircraft.

why is this happening ? Just curious maybe I missed something in the news about World but don't think so.

Army canceled its cargo contract.

roger that, jeez. Good Luck fellas
