The end of forced upgrades?
One bonus of COVID-19 is that it’ll potentially let Envoy play a little catch up on staffing. Granted, there weren’t any displacements for upgrade or no the last vacancy bid, but it was rather small.
Also, with AA talking about capacity cuts and potential E190, 757, 767, and 330 retirements, flow might be coming to an end for awhile. Time to get comfy in your seat and start coming up with alternative plans if AA goes BK again... |
ah yes, what a boon. a glut of pilots devalues our labor and Envoy gets caught up on staffing. I’m sure they will approve lots of good LOAs needed to fix reserve and other issues while also approving drops in this environment

I wonder if the DECs are going to get displaced to FO

Thats what I'm worried about with only a handful of CAs below me. On top of that I was displaced to captain on a jet I was never an FO on.

The MD80 was scheduled to go for about a decade before it actually went. We shall see.

Delta just announced parking 300 jets. If something similar happens at AA, scope will force the parking of a mess of RJ’s.
Not good. |

"Up to 300 Jets" is the correct term. They are not parking 300, but they could park up to that. Lets not throw more wood on the fire than we need too.

DECS numbers have been updated. Furlough insight?

Or just the fact that DECS numbers usually update just before a vacancy bid?
can we go back to AIP week? It wasn’t that bad |

I mean, you as a whistleblower know that DECS numbers have nothing to do with company seniority? So where do you pull this furlough crap from?

It's naive to think that AA and UA aren't headed in the same direction in this environment.

Has any company, regional or major talked about furloughing anyone? Seems that would be suicide in this market once this all passed. I would think a better and more likely solution would be to offer unpaid leave to those that want it, much like Delta has offered. This could solve the problem or at least buy some time.

if not, why are you pretending they’re related? |

This morning I furloughed some of this panic and negativity into the DFW sewer system after breakfast and coffee. Does that count?

Both Compass and TSA received reductions from United, so even though they were already reducing flying, the COVID situation is accelerating the process, at TSA new hires were asked to resign, they were not planning on doing so, since they still needed pilots to finish the year and they were counting on attrition to take care of it, but with all the majors stopping new hire clases, then there is less attrition.
Also GoJet received reductions from United and Delta accelerated theirs by one month, an announcement was made to re-run the bids for April to avoid furloughs, also voluntary LOAs are being offered at this time. Compass doesn’t operate for United, they only operate for AA and Delta (not much longer). TSA was going to close up shop by end of year but still planned to be active for summer flying. Since UA has reduced their schedule for April and May the 145’s they were going to transfer to XJT over the next 90 days are all going at once. But TSA was still already a sinking ship with no chance of surviving before the virus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The question was “has any company talked about furloughing anyone” and the answer is obviously yes, and recently. You seem feverish.
You already knew that though. |
GoJet is in talks with their union to furlough pilots if they don’t rerun their bid
|
TSH is circling the drain. It’s just a matter of time before 20x Compass operated ERJ-175s end up on Envoy property.
