Pinnacle downgraded 30 CA on Jan of 2009 with no furlough. It’s strange but it does happen.

What was the reason for that? Loss of flying? Or was that due to the merger?

There was no growth coming, so it was cheaper for the company to downgrade 30 CA, and have the remaining reserve fly just to the point of almost hitting guarantee.

With all the mayhem at the majors, could there be an uptick in flying at the regionals? Putting 170's and -900's on routes that would be covered by 717s, 88's and 190's?

I just heard today delta and united will be furloughing atleast 50%. Pilot shortage is over, it was fun while it lasted. Now it time to hit the streets. So... When is McDonald's accepting apps?

Nope. Mainline pilots learned a lesson after 9-11. Scope requires regionals to downsize if mainline downsizes.

You heard wrong. There’s a displacement bid for about 4500 pilots at UAL. That’s a far cry from 50%, and displacement doesn’t mean furlough......yet.

oh......looked at your other posts and you’re just a troll stirring stuff up. My bad for responding.

I never said I wasn’t gonna get furloughed. That’s a given. But there’s no way it’s gonna be 50%. Username made me laugh. Every single post you’ve made and been quoted will be gone by morning.
