No indication this is the direction they're going. Quite the opposite in fact.

Could indeed be “Reserve Forever” for the FOs 2700 and above. I’m going backwards in base seniority as the Airbus guys come over to the Boeing and move into the Seattle base. I’m not upset about it but now is a good time to be nice to your jr FO.

Don’t need to recall to furlough either, if someone senior to you is furloughed, you don’t need to come back, you just stop getting paid...IIRC.

I’m not sure I understand what you are saying?
Before we furlough, the company would have to forecast a furlough and then the furlough mitigation part of the contract kicks in. And once that avenue is exhausted, furloughs would be in inverse seniority order.

This was posted on the recruitment page today. If anybody has questions about working here, let me know.

Wonder what will end up being competitive?

That’s a very good question. If I hear anything, I will let you know. It might not be as crazy as before since most majors have avoided furloughs so to speak.

Rumor is Frontier is still taking all the Compass pilots who were supposed to flow to Frontier, though who knows where they fit into that equation.
Or said another way, if that is still true, they'll have less of a need for off the street hires.

Wow. That has to be a record for the most hired in a year. Absolutely crazy numbers!

I honestly have no idea what the Alaska strategy is or even if there is one, From what I can see on the company’s site the load factors remain terrible, we aren’t hitting their daily booking goals with any regularity and the the rest of January is projected to be the same. I don’t see any big recovery this summer happening either, I think we’ll be lucky if we are running consistently 50-60% of normal this summer. I’m junior and I still expect to be furloughed at some point this year.

Yeah they're calling lots of guys back early from leave and wanna go toe toe with DL in SEA apparently? Oh and most of the Airbuses are still parked. Doesn't make any sense, but management isn't known for "planning ahead".

The Airbuses are all going to be replaced by Boeings. They have it well thought out and planned ahead. As of this moment, there is no plan(s) to furlough at AS.

What was your point in waiting if all it took was 2 people to not have side effects? You still don't have your six months of data.

I don't have the data. Last year in the summer when I asked them about the vaccine, they were in the unsure category and that helped shape my opinion on the matter too. Since then they have enough science behind it to trust the vaccine. This winter break when I saw them, they explained why they took it so fast and encouraged I do the same. I trust them and will do it.
I'm in California, probably the worst state for the vaccine rollout. My gut feeling is by the time it gets to me I may not have 6 months data, but probably will have at least 3 months worth. Regardless, if people aren't dropping dead or growing an extra arm within a month or two then chances are extremely high they have outlived any negative effect (otherwise it would have reared its head by then). At least, that's my justification for taking it.

You’re still full of s—-, but at least you’re getting vaccinated.
I’ll speak slowly...the trials are designed to scientifically give the same level of confidence that you have now achieved anecdotally. Congratulations!
