Management Rejects Temporary Relief
After our PSA MEC proposed some form of every temporary relief fellow ALPA carriers have negotiated, our management unfortunately has chosen to reject any kind of relief and insist upon permanent concessions. Thus all ~734 warned pilots will be furloughed.
It appears, then, we will join Air Wisconsin and Envoy as one of the few regionals to furlough on Oct 1. I hope prospective new hires keep this in mind when searching for the regionals they would like to work for.

ENY - 30-some furloughs were mitigated by senior pilots taking long term leaves of absence, 227 still on. Would have been more mitigated, but leaves weren't offered for all seats.

I agree with you. If it wasn’t for SAP, I think the company would have come to the table to negotiate in good faith. Maybe that is a naive take. I do know one thing though, SAP is a tool to have in our back pockets.

They had no desire to counter with even a deeply subpar offer after we said no to losing sap. Not really a negotiation more like a one sided lecture 🙄

It seems likely to me that management’s insistence on not giving an inch means they know something about the future that the union absolutely does not. This is not a company that is acting a.) like one with anything that remotely resembles prosperity on the horizon or b.) like one that ever wants to attract pilots again. Draw your own conclusions, but I recommend everyone double down on a plan B outside of aviation.
Assuming (gladly) that this is overly pessimistic, I don’t think giving up SAP without anything in return is an acceptable course of action even in this climate. I’m glad the union clearly agrees.

It is sounding a lot like what went down at ExpressJet. Management desperately wants something we're clearly not ready to give up. The next best option for management is to shut PSA down. I'll send a message to PDT and ENY about how a naughty kid gets treated.
