I'm not believing this until I hear it from the company. Maybe it's because I'm way out here in cvg, but none of us has heard any of these rumors. Can one of you provide a credible source as to where the number eleven has come from? As for the classes getting cancelled/rescheduled, from what I understand that was standard practice not too long ago and not cause for concern. I would hate to be wrong about this...

I heard from someone in the training department. 13 laid-off from the March and April classes. Some had passed their checkrides, some had not.

Can anyone from any of our bases substantiate this magical 13 number?

Yeah I see no reason for my friend who was supposed to be in the June class to lie and start looking for a new place to hang his hat.

That sucks for the guys that probably just got finished moving to a new city. At least now I understand why I haven't been called about the interview I had last week. SOL.

Yeah, AMF had a small furlough and a few other layoffs. Tough for those involved, but . . . I believe it's the second furlough in the company's 41-year history, and it probably won't last very long. The reason is a simple need to balance currently available crews with the current and and short-term projected level of flying activity.

A couple of Basic Indoc classes were also canceled or delayed, but again -- this is a temporary setback, and the hiring process will likely start grinding along again in a couple of months.
