That's unethical in so many levels, I don't even know where to begin. Best of luck to you guys, I hope they do the right thing.

Ok ok ok, someone please explain this to me. How can they get away with furloughing out of seniority? I know they tried to upgrade out of sequence, but you guys won in the end.
So pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't the teamsters have a pretty good leg to stand on for legal action if they try to get away with it????
Someone please educate me on this, cause it just doesn't seem possible to me!

It sucks, but you can be terminated at any time, for any reason.
They did this after 9/11 when they needed to park the Saabs. There were 125 pilots that were terminated. Many, if not all, were senior to the jet guys.
The union fought it and lost.

Because for the first year you are on probation and not protected.

That's not very christian! I'm sorry but I'm in shock that a management team would do something so immoral.
The irony is that I always thought it was of great advantage to your company and you guys to have multiple certificates under the same umbrella.........so much for that.
Best of luck all the same to you guys, I hope you guys keep everyone.

I understand the concept of being a first year f/o on probation as most of us were there at one point in our careers, but using that as a cost cutting measure....and out of seniority.....???

In 80 numbers frombthe most jr captain but I dont expect to upgrade for at least another two years! Mark my words we will furlogh 100 to 200 by the end of summer. And the really sad thing is they will do it illegally out of seniority just like the saab guys in 2001. Good luck

Hey guys I'm all about optimism but yall are forgetting one thing. If a codeshare goes into BK then all bets are off just like with Frontier. If AMR and United go BK, though I don't see how United could really survive it, they can simply cancel all contracts. CAL's recent deal with XJT could be incentive for them to declare BK and drop CHQ. I know we'd all like to think we're safe but lets not kid ourselves. It's time to just kick back and watch the show.

As far as that sort of treament, welcome to RAH. Family values so long as they don't affect the bottom line.
