This place doesn’t make sense. With legacy hiring starting to pick up and pilots leaving for said legacies. Furloughees are getting recalled even though they were furloughed 4 days ago.

Talking with the cousin’s sister’s brother who’s a janitor, seems like hiring might start again by the end of the year or beginning of next year to cover the higher than predicted attrition and not hiring for growth, but they just let go all of the ground instructors who would be training these returning furloughees and potential new hires….

Sounds about right. Christie and Bendo are clowns.

That and how many pilots that had planned on staying are now bailing due to this latest debacle?

All 4 on furlough who I know personally went ACMI or cargo and don't plan to return. I wonder how many will come back in the future as these 4 seemed to all get jobs very, very quickly.

Attrition is VERY high currently, I would think many of the furloughed guys already found jobs, and I know many guys that took a Voluntary furlough because they already had CJO's and were just awaiting class dates.

When recalls happen, I don't see many coming back, if our current attrition levels keep up it's very possible that hiring may be needed by the end of the year.
 
We had a melt down the other day. Just like the old spirit times of old. Several flights worth of 182/238 pax milling about aimlessly in the gate.

Planes blocked in at the gate.

Planes holding on the ramp waiting for a gate.

But no crews to operate the planes at the gate.

pandemonium ensues when the gate agent announces flight cancellation due to no crew to operate.

1200 pax stampede in an area designed to only hold 600. Surprisingly no viral fistfights videos have appeared on social media. Yet

I think we can all relate to this one any given day. Especially in the summer.

I think the new saying needs to be "the airlines furlough until they hire."

You’ve reached full meltdown when a Dania Beach number calls you to ask 1) where you are, 2) what ship# is in front of you and 3) what’s the fuel onboard.
