Commutair downgrades
 
Commutair downgrades 4 captains to CQF's (Captain Qualified FO's). No furloughs yet.

Sorry to hear that.... Any reason why you'd bother with such a small displacement especially with 2 fleet types?

Ouch, I could of swore I read on your company website the other day that you were accepting apps, at 1000/100. My prayers that no furoughs come for you guys...were all looking for that telltale sign that somthing is making a turn in the other direction...

I thought they had completely switched to the dh-8-200, and no more 1900's were left? I could be mistaken

All Beechs are gone. It is all DCH-8-200's now. Could the downgrades be part of a negotiation strategy? Who knows.

Wasn't aware it's all Dash now..... I'd say it's nice that at least you all have a FA for the door/briefs but it'd be better to keep your own job..... Good luck all, been furloughed before and am dangerously close to a downgrade myself....

Whats the DOH on the downgrades?? Is the company really still upset about whole union thing?? Tell them to go pound sand, on the union issue. ha..:rolleyes:

bertramcheeks22 03-18-2009 06:26 PM
So is this due to a surplus of captains? not enough FO's? or the company losing too much by paying captains? or a mixture of all? or...?

Alright, so not exactly complete downgrades. They are taking the bottom 4 Capt's and making them CQF's. We are apparently short FO's and the company feels this is a solution to the problem. Again, could be a negotiating tactic.

Other then me in October, who left recently? Or did they just underhire? Also was there ever another class after May 08?
