They’ll be at least one more CA on COLA-35 for 2 months if they accept it. I put my bid in after the estimate. The wife and I have already been in savings mode the last +6 months but we did another full budget review and decided we could squeeze by temporarily on 35hrs. After 31DEC, different story, I’ll be back to work regardless of how horrible the bid packets look; and since January and February are historically down months for us anyway I’m expecting ugly.
Best case scenario is that Congress comes out with more payroll support and the union goes back into renegotiate the LOA for what I’m sure will be the full 7 day timeline. Hopefully the end result is that everyone stays in position, COLAs get bumped to industry standard 55hrs pay, and the folks on COLA-0 are up to guarantee on reserve lines.

Nice. Enjoy and thanks.

Oh man, that would be a nice one to clear up... I was going to say, great turn out on the Cola 35s for November but I guess that was too optimistic.

Latest COLA-35 award is out. They denied a large amount of pilots due to availability. I would be curious to know if the number of awards given is nearly the number of people coming off am October COLA-35. The number of denials with the advertised number of additional furloughs (COLA-0s) doesn’t seem to add up at first glance.

Does anyone know what the company was looking to reduce in total on Nov 1? As someone previously mentioned, the 105 in v1 of 2020-06 was the additional number they were looking to further reduce in addition to the cola bids they had already received as of noon on 9/15. So, it stands to reason that the number of desired reductions is actually higher than that (or possibly lower due to the returning 1 month colas?).
