Paul,Oh shoot, I forgot about those who did not pass differences training... hmm wonder if there really are that many. If so that could very well take out our December 3rd class. I might just encourage you to let those guys who are left in TYS who are picking up OPEN time that another cut will take them out. They might want to think about what they did the past couple months and how that might have had an impact in this. Now I realize it would have only saved maybe 1-2 people but still. Need to make them realize they need to stand strong down there in TYS and listen to the union and what they are told.
That's my only complaint in all of this. Out TYS crews seem to be this anti union I'll do what I want type of mentality and its not going to do anything but hurt them and us all in the end. Anyways I've got the phone calls in to people and we will see what happens as far as jobs go. So far it doesnt sound like the old FBO needs anyone (not even part time) and the Youth center I was in charge of is running short on cash (non profits always do this time of year) so we will see if they have the money to take me back. Honestly after looking over things I am very fortunate. I added up my bills and I can live off of $1000. So its not going to take the best of job to make ends meet. Things will be tight but at least I'm a little better off then some. Very thankful for that at least.
Seems like DAY and CLT guys are always better informed. If you get wind of the seniority number it is cutting, i would appreciate a PM. My family is here from Spain and it would be helpful in planning.
concerning TYS guys, open time and "anti union" sentiment, I not sure your right on that. I dont know anyone, that takes the attitude "I dont care about anyone else." If you want to educate me, then PM me or give me a call. BTW, if you have any tendency for schadenfreude or wishing a comeuppance, TYS is the worst place I can imagine to get a flying job of anytype outside of the ANG and PSA. These guys dont have an option of going to the local flight school and cfiing.
As far as where the list cuts, i almost wish I knew it was cutting me or not. Pretty sure it will mean a dislocation to DAY.
Good luck to you Paul. I know how serious you took this job, and whether i agree with you all the time or not, you have been a leader.
