well this was posted the same day as the furlough notice:
To: ALL-SF3-CA;ALL-SF3-FO Subject: SF3 CA FO 200% Reserve Pick Ups Scheduling is offering 200% for reserve pick ups for both CA and FOs in IAH and IAD Saturday 4/21 and Sunday 4/22. If you are interested in picking up reserve, please call crew scheduling. Thanks.
I loved to pick up open time before. I won't touch it with people on the street.

Well, as I was saying, I don't think furloughs are going to happen.
From my understanding, they canceled the voluntary furloughs and now are only going to have 7 involuntary furloughs. Issue is, a lot of those that took the voluntary furloughs, have already found better jobs. The company doesn't understand this when they announced a reduction to 7 voluntary furloughs. Furthermore they are offering premium pay as they are short staffed.
Finally, heard that once the Chapter 11 process if finalized, they are going to move HQ back to MSP and change everything back to the Mesaba name.

They are rescinding many of the involuntary furloughs, but that isn't to say that they won't have to furlough anyone in December. It all depends on what happens.
The other side is that Delta signed a TA, and in that TA they require a reduction in the number of 50 seat RJ's from the current 311 to maximum of 125.

The delta TA is what will be the nail in 9E's coffin. Even If they receive some of the 76 seaters delta (TA) is going to get, it won't make up for the number of 50 seaters lost. I have to think the 76 seaters will be spread among ComAir, ASA, and 9E. This doesn't leave to many to go around but who knows.

Sadly, some pilot's lick their chops to pick up open time. It doesn't matter if we have guys on the street or not.

Or it could be a blessing in disguise.... with Delta as the DIP, if 9E defaults on the loans (which they will if they loose a lot of the 200s) then Delta takes ownership of 9E. That means they wouldn't fall under the auspices of the TA because the wording is for "subsidiaries". As a wholly owned subsidiary they can circumvent the current wording in the TA.
