How many were projected to be furloughed when we declared BK? How many actually were?

Well, in all fairness the pilots weren't responsible for mismanagement and mistakes made in Memphis. With that, 9E pilots didn't help either by voting in this TA.

All this "I'm not falling on my sword", "you all just want our flying" blah blah blah is an excuse that really shows how near sighted many of them are. I can't blame the very senior voting "yes" they're not going anywhere. The bottom 65% however, should have voted "no". They didn't for 2 reasons. Either 1, they were too lazy to get out well before this TA or 2, they were too stupid not to leave.

The "I don't want to start over at another regional" excuse is lame. Guess what? Most of them will have to make the move to another regional when furloughed anyway... Furthermore, starting over now at some of the regionals would pay more than 9Es FO top out pay. But hell, they won't see that pay scale anyway because displaced captains will enjoy the fruit of their vote.

Taking food from your kids mouth, really? Are you guys taking pay cut? When is your company filing chap 11? We didnt take your job. If we turned this down and are all out of a job, would you care about us and how we are going to feed our kids?

This thread is disappointing, bashing our peers who were put in a really ****ty position (that i hope I never go through, but probably will). Pilots bashing each other for mgmts lack of leadership. I hope I'm outta here before its our turn but no regional is immune......

Went from 400 to 200 down to 100-75, now I heard 0 planned for this year. Because of training backlog and people bailing.

I'm wondering if it was because they overinflated the numbers to use as a scare tactic?

This just set the regional airline industry back 15-20 years.

What do you do for an encore?
You're welcome.
