I like how Soaper mentioned only the flight attendant options and said nothing about the pilots. There will be a ton of Captains moving back to the right seat soon... Maybe I'm just mad at the moment, but for this company...the ship has sailed.

Jesus f##### Crist guys! First off all, read the ENTIRE memo. Second, just because they say 300 pilots, doesn't mean you will get furloughed necessarily. They have already agreed on several voluntary options (part-time bid, base vacancy bids, early out opportunities, etc.)
Am I worried I might be out of a job soon? Sure, but I'm not going to get worked up about it and start crying like a little b*tch. Wait until the final numbers are out, until then just do your damn job.

published a joint letter to the flight attendants on July 3 stating that the company and the IBT have
agreed on several voluntary options lessening the impact to that work group.

Meh I think we're just preparing for the worst, and what may be the inevitable. No one is hoping to be furloughed, but I think the number that came out is somewhat larger than we expected, so those of us hired over the last year or so are just bracing. I know personally I'd rather not wait til it's too late, I'd like to have something lined up juuust in case.

Check your email:
"We are still making minor adjustments to the number of pilot and flight attendant displacements, but the fall flight schedule calls for substantial reductions - 300 pilot positions and 220 flight attendant positions. For pilots, the displacement bid will affect both CVG and JFK CRJ captains. However, we expect the largest impact to be in our JFK base for both work groups.
The next step for flight attendants is to release a part-time bid no later than July 9. For pilots, we expect the displacement bid to be released no later than July 21."
I'm getting furloughed.
