Someone is lucky I'm not their boss. Because they would be doing the carpet dance right now. We went from hiring 300 pilots to furloughs in 1 week. Is our contract up or something? This just seems to inept.
If this is really how things are going to run they I might have a suggestion for the first few furloughs.....

Now, if we were looking at merging with, say, Chautauqua, then there would be no need for an assessment since they are Teamsters.

Guys...don't worry about being furloughed yet. I am sure that there will be some sort of buy out from the way Selvaggio was talking. And I'm sure it will be geared towards the senior guys to get them the hell out. And after that, there will probably be voluntary furloughs, meaning senior people that would not be involuntarily furloughed but want to take some time off, would be allowed first dibs, then there would be involuntary furloughs if there weren't enough takers.
When Comair furloughed last time in '05, there were several takers on the voluntary furloughs that really saved a lot of junior pilots' jobs.
