Ughhh....It Starts at AWAC
Company is offering COLA (TOWOP) to 30 Pilots for the month of August. I think they were looking for 20 Captains and 10 FO's.
At least they were nice enough to call the bid an "Award" when it comes out in mid July

Well at least it's a month only. I'm waiting for 9E to do something like that in the near future. I don't know about AWAC but here in 9E, 90% of the pilots would take a month off with no pay in a heartbeat, including myself. Off course this is not good news, it's acutally the trend of the industry right now. Hopefully AWAC and others will manage to weather the storm without furloughing anybody.
Good luck Wiskies!

What bothers/scares me is that these companies (including mine) offered or are offering COLAs during the summer months, which are the busiest flying months of the year. What happens in the fall when the block hours go down??

we had COLA months while hiring last year at comair....a couple times, I wouldn't get too freaked out by it....If you got a part-time job you can do where you can make some extra cash take the month off and go do that.....

Anyway, back on topic.....Our MGR in DCA mentioned the other day that airways is gonna look to cut back a bit of our flying (I believe they can reduce it by 13% max) If the COLA's arent succesfull, they can look to furlough up to around 70 pilots....
My plan???? Dig for Oil in my Backyard....and then sell it at 90$ a barrel
