Supposedly, things will be rough for XJ through the end of the year and early next year. But then apparently, our luck is supposed to change. Im not saying I believe it, just what I've heard. I took with a 1/2 grain of salt.

From: SAAB
Sorry but I think it's only going to get worse. They haven't hired instructors for the SAAB. The diplacements will eventually cause a large number of training events on that fleet. If we were keeping them we would need instructors. Everytime I'm at the airport, I see too many mainline A/C sitting idle at the hangers. I expect us to be reduced down to less than 600 pilots. There is no "carrot" around the corner. I don't buy the "ATR" rumor or the "C series" rumor. The only event that would help us is IF the flow-through started back up.
Best wishes to the furlough guys/gals, it's a tough industry.

Does anyone know at XJ if you can take a voluntary furlough after they already offer one? I have a job offer back home that I want to take up. Im pretty sure im going to get the axe the beginning of the year with the additional saabs parking so im getting prepared. Any ideas would help.

From: Left seat, wait right seat, no no left seat, nope right seat! Ummmm, I guess I am confused
Personally i'de like to see the company not taking golf outings and having boat parties while we have people on the street. I think thats very disrespectful to those who are furloughed and soon to be. While it would be nice to improve crewrooms and things of that nature, I think the main focus the company should have is to get people back to work here...
