Looks like reserve ATR FO is zeroed out for the next couple of days in all 3 bases. SJU is zeroed out a week in advance. Word from DFW CP is no PVDs during the middle of July. Guess we're waaaaay overstaffed.

C. Staffing
The Company will staff a sufficient and adequate number of pilots,
including reserves, to cover all know flying, vacation, training, leaves of
absences, know sick leave, and attrition.

If you file the grievance and it goes to the Arbitrator level, the company may be forced to actually disclose the reason for the furloughs, which is clearly NOT staffing related. For fear of exposing themselves to further legal action I have a feeling this grievance has a chance of forcing the company to actually staff the airline properly (recalls)

Thats 4 or 5 people back to work....May not seem like a big difference for you and I but it maybe a great deal for those who are called back.

If you look at the flow plan, in a month or two I don't think we are going to be understaffed on the ATR. I don't think we are going to see any recalls before 2010. Having said that I hope they do recall a few, I know number 1 on the recall list and he is a good guy.

and just how long have you been watching what AMR does, or doesn't do?
The entire salary for 70 FO's is about 1,680,000 for the year. They spend 30,000,000 just on their lawyers. Do you really think the furlough ever had anything to do with saving money due to overstaffing? It will cost twice that in training cycles alone; if not three times when they are recalled.
As for exposing themselves to legal action, either from the union, or a group of employees; they welcome it. It keeps the Riff-Raff busy.
