Come on man! Our union drew a line in the sand in negotiations. Management took their ball and went home. Now they're using scare tactics to scare people like YOU into pressuring the union! Those of us who have been here for a couple of contracts have seen this all before. "Possible" doesn't mean jack. The numbers just don't add up. Go to work, do your job, and quit believing everything you hear in recurrent or read on the interwebs!

Look. It's as simple as this as far as "furloughs." The company has said many times that it is just a transfer of flying. At least 80 F.O.'s are transferring from the 200 to the 700 beginning March 1st. In addition, 12 to 14 of the 200's are moving to AE flying. Please stop trying to be Debbie Downer and let the chips fall as they may. XJET pays an entire division strictly for Crew Planning. Just because we are losing a few 200's in the near term doesn't mean we are screwed! By the way; why are we posting all this to the "Pool" forum. We need to revive the "Latest about XJET" board.

And yes, this is most definitely going to be The Summer of Discontent.

There's a big difference between temporarily stopping hiring, and furloughing. A year from now, they will be begging pilots to show up for class. There is no way they are going to furlough. Period. Too many people are about to knock down the emergency exit door. A year from now, they won't be able to staff this place.

I wonder if this is going to be the case for the L-XJT side? What has me scratching my head is the attrition really starting to pick up, but not a peep of hiring or upgrading (erj)The really interesting thing is the ship has sailed if they wanted to have new hires and new CAs for summer. Im wondering what the fall block hrs are "supposed" to look like. I agree this is going to be a rough summer for both groups though.
