I heard they sent a class of 13 home and are going to furlough????!!!

that sucks!

(sorry if this is posted earlier I didn't read to far back)

My friend got the call today. Class canceled. Anyone know why? I thought they were going to be hiring through the next several months?

Probably due to the fact that not as many are bailing to go back to the airlines. I think they planned heavily on a lot of pilots being recalled, or just leaving to go to the airlines, but the airlines have been recalling slower then what they anticipated.

I really hope they don't furlough. This company has a pretty good history when it comes to not furloughing. I would be shocked if management slipped this badly, and have to furlough due to over hiring.

yep its all true my interview canceled. will continue mid summer. i think there where actually 13 pilots. anyways.

Well That Is Just Awesome!

13 people in the May 02 class, and 11 actual line pilots got furloughed! This is the numbers I've heard.

Where did the 11 get furloughed from?

Where did u hear that 11 line pilots are being furloughed? We have some of the most junior people at our base and as far as I know (being this morning), none of them have been furloughed.

not exactly what i heard. the ones that are furloughed; some just passed their check ride the others class was canceled.

No one has been furloughed yet. The schedule was taken down for the next two weeks so it doesnt look very positive for us low totem polers. Hopefully the rumors were misunderstood and the 11 that were furloughed were only yhe people that were in the process of training. Please update if anyone hears anything.
