A regional with no upgrade in the near future?
Wow!

 

18 more peoeple are being requested to accept a voluntary month long furlough in November.

 

I believe the delays on new AC deliveries is the cause. The NEO production delays are a well known issue. Both Pratt and Leap airplanes are effected. The company offering leaves makes sense, they are cheap and it saves them a few pennies. If I wanted the time off and didn't mind missing two pay checks, it would be really nice.

 

Thanks for coming back with the company tag line, and so quickly. Well played too. Just vague enough with the "well known issue" makes it plausible. Not buying it! This was driven by a reduction of block hours during a high travel forecast month. Doesn't have anything to do with aircraft delays. This is the third month in a row we've had these voluntary furloughs.

 

Google "Airbus neo delays". Talk to the program manager. Our aircraft deliveries are delayed. Is that really hard to believe?

Or do you think this is all part of Indigos black magic business plan of not growing? If it's not delivery delays, what's your theory?

 

I wouldn't read to much into the colas. F9 has always offered them until the recent hiring boom. Doesn't matter the time of the year. There is no hidden agenda. It's something they have always done (12 years at least) to try and save $ when overstaffed for whatever reason. It's as simple as that.

 

Aero, you and your alter ego coolaid are starting to show your true colors.

 

Im not aero. Nice try.

 

People want to hear and believe what they want. Quote above is right, nothing more, nothing less. F9 has done this for quite sometime.
This company cannot properly staff anything! Sometimes too thin on pilots sometimes too much. They could not staff properly a taco stand!
Quit getting to the point that the "sky is falling" mentality. Quit whining about growth,upgrades etc. Everything is cyclical. Good times and bad.
If they promise you two year upgrades, take it with a grain of salt, pure and simple. If you do not like what you hear then go somewhere else and do not let the door hit you on the way out.
I am not trying to be insensitive, but try to put yourselves in the shoes of our pilots who could not upgrade for 8+ years because of bankruptcy and other maladies. I do not think they want to hear your whining about COLAS and "I was promised a two year upgrade" BS!

 

Why are there furloughs if they are still interviewing new candidates?
