It's time to bring back the ASA furloughees!
ASA Pilots, Starting with the May 2009 pilot bid, there will be no company offered monthly absences (COMA) offered until further notice. The company will advise crewmembers, through ourASA, when the company offered absence (COMA) will be offered again. Thank You, Crew Support Services It has become quite apparent that we are now UNDERSTAFFED! 1. March had roughly 14 days of min reserve coverage for the 200 right seat. 2. April has 19 days of min reserve coverage for the 200 right seat. 3. I was extended Friday (which turned into an unscheduled overnight). 4. We just got the above memo. 5. Summer schedule is almost here. It's only going to get worse. So I think it's about high time we bring back the furloughees! Please discuss..... |

There have been over 150 Junior Manning events since the first of the year with a 3000 hour increase in flying IN JFK..yet they STILL won't call back people. This summer is going to be atrocious for Comair's performance..i'm willing to bet comair will set all time low's for performance statistics. I'm pulling for you guys though! |
I am with you. There are about a dozen that resigned to go to GoJets and I know of 4 others personally who are pursuing other careers outside of aviation, including going back to school. Assuming there are others, I cant imagine they couldnt afford to bring back some of us (maybe 60-65 remaining?) Unfortunately, with ASA doing everything to cut as many costs as possible to save money, I just dont see it
Somehow, I think a safer bet will be this will turn into a 9 page argument between those who think we are understaffed, those who say we are still overstaffed and the generic miserable posters. . |
Imagine the best way to fix things...then turn a 180 and go with that idea...welcome to ASA

I'd love to see ASA bring back their furloughees, but I'd hate to see them furloughed again after the summer. Perhaps management is waiting to get some guidance from Delta on what the fall schedule looks like before deciding on any recalls.

I really hope the furloughed guys get recalled, however all they need to do is build the lines up and that will solve this situation. SH is also going around saying that in order for the furlough to "make sense" financially, it has to last 18 - 24 months.

What about this forthcoming 2-for-1 swap for more 900s? That means a net loss of airframes again.

According to management if you're not junior manning, you're overstaffed. If even one reserve is sitting at home, you're overstaffed. Thats the way it was at my airline at least.
