Excellent, good luck and congrats on escaping. Now if I could jet get recalled and snag some PIC, id be out too...

 

Anybody have a guess now to see how many will take this package?

Also, I wonder how many furlough's are even coming back.

 

I'm willing to venture a guess that there would be about 25-30 that take the buyout, and 3 out of 5 furloughs come back.

 

Thanks, I wish you guys the best that are on the street. I hope myself leaving gets one of you guys back.

 

Thank you to those who take the package to help us on the street

 

I highly doubt anyone is taking the package for the sole benefit of a furloughed pilot


Nevertheless, it does help!

 

In all honesty I doubt these buy-outs will result in recalls, just prevent more furloughs. Don't forget this is Shrink-air we are talking about.

 

Looks like the date is January 30th for Delta vs. Mesa to back in court...this article is from TheStreet.com

I do not think a lot of people will take the early out due to the state of the economy. My guess would be a total of 50 people at the most. I’m sure some people are waiting to see what the company is going to do about Long term COLAS and voluntary furloughs and opt for that option instead of early out.

No one knows how many people will take the early out, so the company has no way of giving an exact day of separation, and I cannot blame them for that. I’m not defending CMR or ALPA, that’s just the way it is. On a previous post, it was mentioned that anyone taking the early out qualifies for unemployment income. If that is true, some people might opt for the early out and take advantage of any educational help the government might to go back to school.

Anyone needing more information on the early out program should participate in the conference call today between 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm. The phone number and pass code are on the latest issue of FastTrack sent to your company email on January 16th.

 

[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']I really doubt it if CMR will see any additional flying even if Delta wins the lawsuit and fire Mesa/Freedumb. I think most of the Mesa flying will be part of the domestic capacity reduction and the rest of it will be divided between all the DCI carriers. [/FONT]
