I think Bar's prediction of furloughs is just a year late. I see the US economy not recovering and unemployment still high and fuel prices out of this world. Chaos in the Middle East, earthquakes, birds and snakes, and airplanes, and even Lenny Bruce is afraid.
Now they may hold off, learning from recent experience, thinking that the economy will recover after the elections next year. I bet though there are major displacements from WBs in NYC. That will roll down the proverbial hill.
Glad they hired those few hundred last year...

Based on LOA 29, we can deviate from first deadhead to get company business, or did I read that wrong? Well, I called scheduling to do that and they said I could not deviate until 24 hrs prior. So I have my OE out of base which has a deadhead to it from base, now I must wait until 24 hrs to get my company business ticket to get to my OE?

With the cut, will this cause any more senior pilots to take the early out because the 747 and 767 are looking to get parked for a little bit? The cut is going to create quite a trickledown in movement on the next AE. So you senior pilots, please start thinking of scope so us younger, low seniority pilots have a place to go on property (ie.76 seat jets) while you can still hopefully maintain your seats and pay.

This is just a little overboard IMO. You have to stop watching FOX news brotha. The US media does nothing but spread fear.

From the LOA:Off- Rotation Deadhead- Positive Space Travel for Deviation at Beginning of Rotation Currently, a pilot who utilizes an off-rotation deadhead at the beginning of his rotation is responsible for his own transportation. Effective immediately, such a pilot will be afforded positive space travel from a domestic airport (or an airport in the Hawaiian Islands) in the vicinity of his permanent residence, so long as Company Business seats are available on his desired flight. Such travel may be booked under Company Business in TravelNet up to 14 days prior to report of the rotation. A pilot who makes such a reservation will be required to make every effort to cancel it if he no longer requires or intends to use the

I gather you did not read the LOA. You are confusing positive space with notification of DH deviation. They are totally separate.

One 74 to Marana until Jan, 2 74s back to the lease company, which is probably a play to reduce the lease cost, the already announced 9s and 10-12 75/76 to the desert.

OK...PCS gurus..if I'm trying to drop a whole bunch of crappy trips...say ..6 x 3 day trips...how do I put that in...(one each in a PD priority, or a combo of all of them in some priority...etc..)
The question is: what is the logic on PD requests...does getting Priority 1 immediately stop the run, or will it look at Priority 2 as well?
Arrrgh!!
