Friends/Crewmembers:
An FYI: Yesterday afternoon at 1800 we FEDEXed recall letters to our furloughed pilot associates for 16 training slots available in January and February. There will be classes for 4 recall D8 FO’s and 12 recall CRJ FO’s.
We over nighted the recall letters to all 460 plus furloughed pilots. The package contained the procedures outlined in Section 17 of the CBA, a Q and A, document, and a recall return preference form. The basic methodology is these 16 training slots will be filled by the most senior 16 furloughed pilots accepting recall to the Jan and Feb training classes. I’m sure we will not get through the entire list to get the 16 slots filled but the return document also has a provision to advise us if an individual has found a new job and does not intend to return or has other plans for the future. Gives us a look at staffing challenges for 2011.
As attrition dictates new training opportunities, additional recall letters will be sent to the group. Note a pilot may “pass/decline” recall opportunities per the 2 scenarios as provided for in Section 17.
Let’s try to spread to word to our furloughed friends who may have moved or relocated and may not have kept us up to date with their latest address that correspondence is on the way.
Thanks,
M

Made some great friends at AMW but d@mn what a terrible place to work. I hope the good guys that do choose to go back the best of luck. I couldn't do it just to be the most junior at an airline in trouble that treats ppl like that though. If i had to start at the bottom it would be somewhere with a much more competent management team. I hope you guys really think that one through with others starting to hire.

Just heard the news that Mesa is beginning the recall of furloughed pilots. The next question, as with every recall actually, is how many are going to take it? Regardless, it’s another spark of good news.
Don't know numbers or dates, just that press release went out.
