PSA Announces 35% of Pilots Furloughed Oct. 1
DAMAGE REPORT:
PSA has announced 1,141 furloughs.
- 723 pilots (35% of the seniority list)
- 418 Flight Attendants
An additional 45 Engineering/Maintenance positions will be eliminated and outsourced.
While Envoy & Piedmont are presently furloughing a fewer % of their pilots, this is only
the beginning and there is no safe harbor at the wholly-owneds. Expect MGMT to come for personnel and/or pay. This is only the beginning so long as there is no government intervention or passenger demand begins to significantly and reliably trend toward the passenger counts of recent years past. Good luck out there.

From what I’ve heard they have been getting personal phone calls from the CPO (or possibly higher? RN?) with their initial notice with probably the letter to follow.

Agreed. I’ve always heard regional fleet is a percentage of the mainline NB fleet with different allotments for large and small RJ’s. I cannot remember the seat count between small and large. 175’s and -700/900’s are large, but I believe some -700’s were being converted to small to free up space.

Envoy is doing less than 100 more departures per day than PSA is right now...616 at Envoy vs 531 at PSA. You also have about 500 more pilots than PSA does (soon it’ll be way more than 500 more...sigh)...I’d be surprised if Envoy doesn’t announce more furloughs soon. For your sake I hope they don’t.
