So are there going to be F's or will they offer COLA's to offset F's?
...our Union just doesn't care because it doesn't concern them, since us 200 pilots are all 1st year guys...
I know we're doing
- 75 Hour as a normal line
- Special 40 hr lines
- 4 month (maybe longer as well) COLAs
- Early out retirement packages
- The Euro Flying thing...
You guys should be able to bring that number down and save a few more jobs.
I'm sincerely sorry this affects you. However, that's not a fair statement.
The Teamsters have many, many faults, but saying you don't count on probation is wrong.
I personally know all the guys on the MEC, and they're good guys. Again, they, like everyone, have faults. Leaving the "probies" in the dust isn't one of them.
After 9/11, we went through a similar scenario. The company fired the probies out of seniority since they wanted to send the SF3s to the S5 certificate (as it was owned by Wex-daddy). Many of those fired were called, oddly enough, right away by S5 and offered positions.
The union fought to keep strict seniority rules, going as far as taking the issue to a court of law. Unfortunately, the court upheld the company's maneuver.
I hope things work out for you, and all the pilots being tossed aside in this ridiculous situation.
I hear you. But its funny that the Union has said nothing about this furlough. Nothing....we're all in the dark. Left with a letter from Bedford, a stupid FAQ and nothing but rumor and hearsay. I figured at the VERY least, our Union would send out some sort of letter...anything. Ridiculous....

Don't be *that* guy that complains but then is too busy/doesn't care enough to help out when the time rolls around.
