Oh yeah I am in no way complaining about being on reserve, like you say I am just happy to have a job at the moment. It just frustrating to see ppl from Mesaba and such who sat reserve for maybe a month rub their monthly endeavors in the face of people like me that really irritates me. Great you barely sat reserve, but why don't you show some class while you are at. Everyone is going to have to sit reserve sometime in their career. If it isn't now, it most certainly will be later on down the road in your career.

Oh, the joy of the internet, anybody can pretend to be anybody...

Yea well I'd call it a CL-600-2D24 and nothing shorter.

I hope I am way off but a few of those emails said we are up to 300 pilots fat......... if we do actually get these new airframes that doesnt make room for 300 pilots.
Just saying I hope I am wrong but the big F might still be a possibility for a few people. |

I guess this has happened before here and then the 900's went to Skywest so I have been told to believe it when I am actually sitting in one. haha

Exactly dont believe it until it says ASA on the side and old Bill is sittin up front

Just an observation. ASA has 1731 active pilots bases on APC with 149 airplanes. Even if the 10 airplanes arrive, that is still way overstaffed, and who knows what might happen by June 09. That seems so distant especially with the current state of the industry. My furlough company is currently operating with more airplanes than active pilots! How a company still has kept pilots that require sim sessions to stay current is beyond me.
|
Because we still turn a profit..... for now. We also don't really have 1731 pilots. That list is out of date new list should be out this month. Though I don't expect it be much less then that.
|
Last time I heard there were almost 100 people on leave or awarded a COMA. I'm not sure how accurate that # is but if you look at the lists it looks like it's more.
|
If they can get 200 pilots to take COMA each month, I am sure that they would do it. Make em come back every three months to stay current. It is a lot cheaper than a furlough. Sometimes, it is just easier to furlough and cut the carrying costs. Especially, if DAL is renegotiating their reimbursement structure.
|
How many of the 1700 are actually line pilots?

Same at Mesaba, most instructors are on the master senority list.

I like to tell the new FOs that the best way to make friends with Beal is to hurry out to the airplane, complete the safety check, get everything warmed up and ready, program the FMS and ACARS... then put a Diet Coke in his cup holder and a seat belt extender neatly folded on his seat. He really likes that.
|
I just heard from someone in management that there is a memo coming out on friday about a round of furloughs. Anyone else heard anything?

I heard also if you carry a box of Twinkies, his blood sugar never gets low and he won't be cranky at all! Also isn't bad to brush up on your Zagat restaurant reviews either! |
