40 pilots out on the street in December? What happened?

COVID mandate. Not quite 40 but it was not an insignificant percentage of pilots.

They have not been terminated. They were placed on a 90 day leave. There are things going on behind the scenes regarding the companies inappropriate action.

Please share what is the “Story” on the 767 fleet?
Thanks.

It’s mostly a hub night cargo bird on min guarantee with a few cool overnights in South America at the moment. Definitely the hardest working pilots here - low hours but long sits making the duty days long. I personally have a mountain of respect for the 76 pilots - they are the glue on that fleet for sure.
