Nope, we were hiring 100 a month in early 2000. We had announced a halt in hiring just prior to 9/11 as the economy was starting to soften. Furloughs didn't start until early 2012, if I recall. There were contractual limitations, maybe some of the victims of "Force Manure" can enlighten us. I just flew with a 2001 hire yesterday.

There was no scope in the 1990 contract, It wasn't implemented until 1996 when we grandfathered in the 146's and ATR's that were over 50 seats. The contract we signed, Sailing was in 1990 right before Saddam invaded Kuwait. I remember it well, as it reduced the B-Scale to 3 years. You would gain more credibility if you started posting the truth. Please, PLEASE get a spell checker. More than, back then, etc etc.

[QUOTE=sailingfun;1582712]I think you are correct. I am not at home to reference the contracts. 96 however just reinforces what I am saying.

That's what I was getting to, if the furloughs were from 2000-2001 DOHs then they didn't even get to vote on a contract prior to their furlough.

Yeah, I bet most pre-911 hires here can remember when they started really looking into plan B. My very concerted efforts started with the USAir attempted takeover.

We had six leased 88 passenger jets. Never were these aircraft configured with 69 seats.
Service was to AVL, MCN, MYR, PAN, CSG, and TRI. At .63 Mach.

The B scale was for years 2 through 5. It came in to existence in the 86 contract. Pay was 60 percent of the A scale. In the 91 contract the B scale was changed to years 2 and 3 only at 80 percent of the A scale. This sadly however was not retroactive to the amendable date. I don't know exactly when years 2 and 3 went back to full pay however it was after the pay agreement on the 737-800. I voted against that agreement because it still contained the b scale on years 2 and 3.

Timbo,
You were right. As for mergers, by pay check or equipment, JC's status quo was a staple. Now he is on the street, along with Captain Ford and others. They should have been "grateful for a staple," but they were reading merger policy list a sequential checklist without understanding the politics.
