Not sure if everyone knows but there was a big MEC meeting this past Monday. Apparently Mr. Doughboy Leach let slip that 851 and 852 are returning to the lessors soon...at the end of their one year anniversary here. Not sure if this accounts for the most recent 30 furloughs but I think that'll take us to 26 or 27 airframes...fml.

Its a damn shame what is happening at TSA. I was hired in 6/07, flew nearly 1,100 hours with the company, commuted in early so I didn't miss a trip, did everything right. Yet, the gamble of choosing that company has resulting in an entirely different situation for me now than I had envisioned a year ago. Many other regionals are furloughing too, but I think we're going the deepest in terms of % of the group.
Its just a shame. If/when I go back to the industry, I hope to do better with company selection than the first time around.
Sucks for everyone.
I've learned, though, that often times things that happen are blessings in disguise. I wonder about this.....

the only way the company learns is by costing them money-- it's the only effective technique. use your sick time, fly the contract.
i think XJ doesnt need an extra 2 planes- with their size and effciency capability, they could easily plan two planes worth of flying. but if they want to save money on the great paint scheme for united and change the N number and take off that whopper sticker that states UX, DBA TSA then i dont know what to say

Xelectro is an XJET furloughed who is waiting for his class date at Gojets. Keeps saying United is going to give TSA flying to Xjet, this is like his 5th post on the subject, he won't drop it. By the way what's the word on negotiations, I heard the last meeting didn't go to well and it's going to be the last attempt...
