Furlough Estimates

Autothrust Blue said:
Many contracts have a provision that excuses the Company from certain things concerning furlough and recall if the furlough is due to "circumstances beyond the Company's control," which usually "includes, but is not limited to, a natural disaster; labor dispute (strike); grounding of a substantial number of the Company's aircraft by a government agency; reduction in flying operations because of a decrease in available fuel supply; revocation of the Company's operating certificate(s); war emergency; owner's delay in delivery of aircraft scheduled for delivery or manufacturer's delay in delivery of new aircraft scheduled for delivery."

...or something like that...

The thing of it is, I'm not really sure that this counts, as none of that has really happened. You might call this a natural disaster but I find that tenuous at best.

I suspect they'd have no problem getting an arbitrator to agree with them that it's a natural disaster, unfortunately. Unless natural disaster is more tightly defined in the definitions section.

Yeah, you're right; I did more reading and it is not. I still think it's crap, especially because of the aforementioned $5.4 billion cheque the taxpayer wrote 'em.

Bad look.

I mean it is a virus. It's not like Delta did something to make this happen.

At a place I’ve heard of, they’ve twice had videos that mgt made in which they said, "first, we want you to know this is not your fault. You guys didn't cause this, it's a virus, no one expected it, etc etc."

I just find it weird they would even say that in the first place. Well obviously a virus is not the fault of employees.

Ha no kidding!

What’s going to interesting to watch is the fed retrenching their strategy to maximize employment while discounting controlling inflation. I’m no where near smart enough to other than to observe how inflation was the “great terror” during the the stimulus during recession but now with greater stimulus in the markets, not much more than a whisper of concern.

Though I suppose could change with the results in November.

Because people are human.

Think of it like being the child of a couple going through a divorce. A lot of children end up blaming themselves for their parents breaking up.

Nah, dad raw-dogged a hooker on a business trip to Barbados and came home with herpes, so no, Junior, it’s not your fault.

I read those emails as: “it’s not you, it’s me.”

Oh yeah I’ve seen this movie before.

Bad stuff is about to happen...
