You are on the books as a pilot trainee until you pass your line check. Then your upgraded to FO. The reference is your CJO you signed on the first day of Indoc. The CJO is contingent upon completing training, that would be IOE.

In any case, the company is saving a lot of money by furloughing trainees. We were meant to get the second half of our new hire bonus upon completion of IOE according to our contract with the company, so 112 x $12,000 = $1,344,000 in savings. Cheaper for them to cut their losses it seems
I'm just grateful to have my ATP and type rating. Among those furloughed, there were some that were just days or weeks from their checkride, so they just lost months of time and effort with nothing concrete to show for it

Sorry about that, I guess things changed since I was a new hire at Xjt. I am staring a furlough in the face at UA. If I am furloughed it will be my second furlough. Don’t let it get you down. You didn’t do anything wrong, there’s no QRH to run.

There are several potential loopholes to CARES payroll protections, this is one of them, as well as downgrades conducted in accordance with the contract.

A few years ago when I was asking for advice about starting flight training, he told me I would have a “hard time” and probably wouldn’t make it in this industry. I pressed on and ended up making it to a major after a couple of years.
I’ve learned to just scroll past his posts.

There’s a sign on the TV in the lunchroom in the training center that Dish TV service has been suspended in order to cut costs. If they are going out of the way to cancel $50/mo TV service, I have a feeling the fun is just beginning.
