So anyways, I saw an email from the union today that the comapny is starting to offer cancellations of some furloughs. A good sign?

my guess (and this is just my theory) is that some of those reps who had CJOs can’t leave now with legacy classes full or cancelled, so they found a way to get the their jobs back.

Most likely.. screwing the jr guys that actually need this job.

How does that work? More people stay should = more furloughs, not less.

That's a possibility. But regardless of the reason the company is cancelling some furloughs.

I haven’t been able to talk to the airplane cleaners or on the Flight Attendant forums yet to get the details but I wonder how many they will cancel. And does the mean a reduce in the numbers they want to displace? And what bases?

new head honchos coming on board. Maybe they have a plan and need more pilots?

furloughs are from the bottom up. The senior guys who bid to voluntarily furlough that could’ve saved a new guy his job are now getting the opportunity to cancel that and stay with the company and go to one of 4 bases listed. Looks like there will also be another vacancy bid in September with the opportunity to move around once things get situated. More attrition means less furloughs needed, but it is MY opinion that all this came about recently due to the legacies cancelling class for the rest of the year and maybe some reps are scrambling to take back their vol fur.

The language for cancelling furloughs was negotiated in the MOU, which came out before American cancelled their hiring.

Yep exactly, people obviously can’t read. The union email was clarification that if attrition is higher than planned, furloughs will be cancelled in seniority order. Those who choose to return in the event their furlough is cancelled get to bid for a base until the next vacancy is awarded. First cancellation notification will be this Friday for those willing to participate. Furloughs are still happening…

Well our new CFO has a great reputation! He’s the head of a manufacturer that doesn’t make commercial airplanes anymore, and every airline on his resume doesn’t exist today.
