FOR OUR FLIGHTCREWS THESE ADDITIONAL SCHEDULE REDUCTIONS IN BOS, AS
WELL AS THE LARGE NUMBER OF REDUCTIONS IN LGA REQUIRE THAT WE
MAKE SOME DIFFICULT DECISIONS CONCERNING OUR CREW BASES IN THE
NORTHEAST. WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED AS WE WORK THROUGH
THESE DECISIONS.
That kinda hinted to me that we would lose one or both bases. Open JFK maybe.

It's nice to know what the fleet plan is right now. It would be better to know the staffing that they are planning on. I have heard numbers as high as being 250 FOs short right now. Either way with the net loss of 45 planes (26 SF3 and 19 EMB) it's still not too comfortable sitting about 150 from the bottom.

Yes and you're always very mysterious as to how you know that. I want to see it for myself. Plus that number was awhile ago and since a lot of those guys were still in training I'm assuming quite a few aren't there anymore.

Company put out an announcement saying come september, we were supposed to be operating 13 for american. The 10 that Eagle will get are included in that number. Not looking good for us to continue an American operation...

ALPA is very pleased to announce that as a result of ALPA and Eagle management’s efforts, the 10 Embraer 145’s currently leased to TSA will be returned to American Eagle Airlines. The transfer process will begin in approximately 6 months, and continue at a rate of approximately two aircraft per month into 2009.
Although this is welcome news for Eagle pilots who have wrestled with outsourcing since AA’s acquisition of TWA, it is a significant blow to our fellow ALPA pilots at Trans States Airlines. Our MEC will continue to work closely with the Trans States Airlines MEC to assist in whatever way we can.

This is only a net loss 0f 19 jets. Add that to the Saabs and its a lot better than we originally thought. Maybe this is mgmt's way of softening the blow but considering we were previously very under staffed and the fact that we have a relatively complex operation in terms of bases and fleets, I hope and truly believe that we can avoid furloughs with these cuts.
My heart does go out to the folks in BOS and LGA. It sounded like one of the bases was going to get cut and it always hurts when its your base. Good luck everyone.

I am truly sorry for all at eagle, but particularly those hired after last summer. A buddy of mine is over there, hired at the end of summer '07, says that if they furlough he thinks he's gone.
Sad time in our industry, it looks like anyone hired in the past 12 months is in jeopardy at any regional and/or major.

Just a reminder that those planes wont be on property for 11 months. By the fall there will still be a loss of 54 planes. That is 486-540 pilots at 9-10 pilots per plane. Just trying to keep everything in perspective.
