More ASA Furloughs to be announced tomorrow..
 

I heard from a friend through a cheif pilot that ASA is to furlough up to the contract. The same friend talked to a guy on the ALPA furlough committee and he claims that the furloughs are to be announced tomorrow (7/13/2009.)

This info comming at the same time that Scott Hall sends out a mass e-mail about meetings in the pilot lounge over the next few days.

Monday, July 13 at 4 p.m.
Tuesday, July 14 at 8 a.m., 11 a.m. & 3 p.m.
Thursday, July 16 at 8 a.m., 11 a.m. & 3 p.m.

ATL Pilot Lounge

I know it's just speculation at this point, but it's what I heard.

It would seem several ALPA reps agree. Guess we'll know for sure tomorrow.

please tell me this puts an end to the brad holt honeymoon

Good Luck guys! Seems like this furlough crap is never gonna come to an end.

what is the total number not protected, 134?

There are around 60 of us.

well if it turns out to be true that will just be faaaannnntastic.....crap.....guess I better get used to tossing bags for awhile! :rolleyes:

why are they having frontline meetings to announce this. last time didnt they just send out a few emails. its comforting knowing brad can send out the two people that everyone already doesnt like to break the news. i thought it was strange how the email said only scott and charlie were holding the meetings

Last time I think the chief pilots actually attempted to call everyone before anything official was announced. The frontline meetings are a strange twist though.

Just got the call. Didn't ask how many, but affective 1 September. Good luck to all.
