You are the same knucklehead who just two weeks ago was arguing with me and willing to bet me on these forums that Subodh Airlines, Inc. had direct entry captains in class. You, and other Subodh Air cheerleaders, have other recent posts in which you asserted that S.A, Inc, was well positioned to come out of this disaster better than the other crappy regionals- ignoring direct evidence to the contrary.
Now you come on here and bust this guys ballz, while he is on the floor, about “drinking the kool-aide.”? Classy act.
You’ve been drinking from the same punch bowl over there, amigo.
I dunt know whether to laugh at you or feel sorry for you.

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

The point I was trying to make was that almost everyone saw this coming at some point. I was just curious if you guys in training were being told something else. Either way, best of luck to you and the others in your situation.

Sorry to cut in. Did Expressjet receive CARES funding? I am curious because earlier in this thread it is stated that 112 people have been furloughed.
I am at a different UAX partner and just wanna look out if they are trying to change the terms when they said no furlough til Sep 30.
