Just got the happy news from SBY myself. Same situation as others; hard line to unemployment in 2 months.
And Meccathor, I checked this afternoon; CASS will still deny you if the employee # on both sides of your badge is the same (i.e.) not ex-Allegheny)

Hopefully this furlough is short lived until some more flying is found for you guys. I spent only 5 months on "unpaid vacation", but I won't lie about it, it sucks.

Hello,

Newest round of furloughs, or actual first possible round of furloughs? I was under the impression Piedmont had not laid anyone off yet.

No, first round of 30 is effective October 1st...this is the second round of an additional 40 effective November 1st.

Heard that the airline will be operated with only one reserve in each base. Hopefully a lot of guys will be calling in fatigued. Get those junior mans out of the way ASAP and leave the company with nothing to do and a shortage of pilots.

From everyone I talked to so far I have heard that you get the unemployment benefits of where you are "based" or "work" at, not where you reside. But maybe it varies in different states.. dunno.

1 reserve in each base? That sounds somewhat extreme..

They have trouble sometimes with 5-6 reserves in each base..

Surprised by the number 40... wasnt expecting nearly that many.. thought maybe another 30, or less.
