Dale that sucks. Who dropped the ball IBT or the company? This last min #### is not right.
I just don't see how the company wouldn't want to give the union a week or two to try to work out a way so there are no furloughs or lower the number(COLA's or LOA's or some thing).
It just makes the company look like a POS. There is talk of the furloughs being as low as 100 here at AE. Why? Because the union has been working like mad from day one, and the company was willing to work with them.
What does this word "Furloughs" mean?
I dunno, but if I got a letter that said I was on the street in 60 days, it'd rock my world.
I would also say this Dale, you got a month and a half notice. What do you need? No offense that's one month mroe then PSA guys got. That is pleanty of time for you all to find other options and figure out what you are going to do. Heck our guys/girls had to find out in two weeks what they were going to do. Half of them only had 4 days off during that time and had 4 DAYS to find new jobs and figure things out. Things suck right now. Yeah thats true. But give me a break man your company gave you all a decent notice. You should give them credit for that much at least. I only wish our pilots had 1 and a half months notice.
Unless I missed something, where did you come up with a month and a half notice? It was announced last Friday about the furloughs...
Also, Airdale's name is Dave, not Dale...
I'm not furloughed, but my roommate is being furloughed. I think it was a pretty damn quick trigger by the company and I think they were aggressive with it for a reason. They'll quickly find how short they're going to be on the 170 side and some peeps will get called back sooner than I think (hope). It's ridiculous that they've had me flying 85-90 hours/month and they're doing all this furloughing before adjusting the # of hours we fly a month.
Dave, hang in there...
