Unhappy ASA Voluntary Furlough (COMA)

Moderate Notice:

This is about ASA. The next poster who actively tries to incite, flame, and divert the thread from that will:

A) Get a well deserved vacation (COMA, if you will) from this forum

B) Delete the entire thread, because I'm tired of dealing with juveniles with keyboards.

Tony



And so the spiral begins. Openings starting in January and running subsequent months.

What a joke!

And speaking of, anyone done a coma before? Do you keep vacation/sick accrual? Can you pick up a trip or two?

yes, as per the contract.

Anyone's guess how senior this will go? The vacation bid closes today and i don't want vacation in a month that I can get a coma...

I thought I heard somewhere that COMAs or other LOAs were in the ASA contract, that the company had to offer them.

I did a COMA the last time they offer them. Friggin awesome is all I can say. I did two weeks on two weeks off for 3 months. You keep your flight benefits and you pay half the months medical benefits. Or a prorated amount depending on how long your off. Not sure about sick time. Actually it's also prorated from what I remember. If you take the whole month off you get nothing. It's basically a LOA where you get to keep your flight benefits. And yes the company has to offer it. You can't just request it.

I guess delaying voting PBS in, would have been a good idea. Oh I forgot you would have had to get it some time in the distant future, so mine as well get it now. Don't be mad at company, be mad at your reps and the yes voters

I think what samballs is saying is that with PBS the pilot group is more efficient. More line holders less reserves, less open time, and more efficient due to the lack of a end of month transition period. This all ends up meaning less pilots on the seniority list. I think that is what he was implying but I could be wrong.

I'll buy that. Haven't noticed much more efficiency with trips though. Perhaps with transitions and with the reserve coverage we let them get away with.
