We are going to be a smaller airline... but there is no intention of furloughing.
-Not my words.

Jump to 8:00 of you want to only hear about furloughs etc.

Why can’t they just LOA all of this OT, build it into move-up lines, and run a supplemental move-up bid prior to June 1st? They have plenty of time to do all of the above, which wouldn’t completely make the situation look any better for the company, but would at least mitigate the impact to alllllllllllll the ppl forced onto RSV unnecessarily.

I suspect they’ll pull the same shenanigans in July. Been a pretty quiet MAY for LCR. seems like the hammer will drop in June to feed the reserves the open trips while keeping them all at 30 hrs or less credit.

Those who would have held a line in June...

Looks like those that could have held a line in June are going to get 75 hrs pay, no reserve, and the ability to pick up open time. Wouldn’t this also have effected pilots on SCR that could have held LCR? I guess it could be fairly lucrative for those in a certain demographic.
