The F word hits ASA for the first time in its history. Effective immediately, no recalls expected until Jan 2010. Hopefully involuntary furloughs do not follow.

lol. . .yeah - no one saw this coming right?
The real hammer hasn't fallen yet, and I'm not speaking anything else as it's really best to keep this type of information and more importantly the speculation out of the public realm.
Well, YOU'RE no fun.
How much are your reserves flying? I'm just trying to get a gauge of how the other DCI carriers are doing compared to PCL just in case all this "downgrade" stuff isn't just bluster.
To answer your question, I've heard some of our reserves haven't flown in months. Especially on the 200. My 200 IOE instructor said scheduling is pulling line FOs off flights and pairing a reserve guy who hadn't flown in a while with an IOE instructor to get them back up to speed.
The big rumor out there right now is that "the hammer" will come down after new years with everyone not furlough protected by the contract being furloughed. Hopefully it will not come to that.
The reserves have been well used in the last two months. At least one very junior reserve pilot posting on this thread broke guarantee this month.
The voluntary furlough offer is a sick joke the company. Who in their right mind would take that when the company is also offering year long LOAs???
On the bright side, at least the company is doing something to mitigate furloughs.
BTW, I wouldn't consider the so called streak over until the furloughs are involuntary.

Yeah Surreal is the only one I know who thinks their airline's info is G14 classified.
Glad to hear people getting to fly plenty this month. I've only heard on 200 guys not flying for months. The 700 is staffed pretty lean. After all the "200 is much shorter reserve" hooplala during indoc turns out the 700 was the quickest way to a line. Out of 210 pilots line awards went all the way to #185. Granted the lines were spread out with none over 75hrs and several senior FOs bidding RSV.
So far this month on the -700, I've gotten 52 hours of flying.
I've flown 45, minus 11 which was SOE. So I've flown 34 ever since I was handed over to crew scheduling.
You done with -700 training? Flying that now I assume?
If so, change your signature damnit!!!! :crazy:
I forgot all bout that! Done!
