US Furlough update....

[TWA Dude]

Snapshots are taken when the merger is announced, too late now.

I disagree. The snaphsot isn't until the merger closes since until that point it may not actually happen. The AWA/USA snapshot was in September '05.

Try May 19, 2005 when the merger was announced for seniority list verification which means amongst other things any furlough time after that does not count.

what about...?

How about OCT 24 '05 that is the official PID. accordingto ALPA anyway.

As you know, the seniority list "certification" never actually took place since there were disputes. In any case, my source is from our Merger Committee. And Andy is correct about the PID. If your source disagrees then I guess it's just one more thing for Mr. Nicolau to decide.

Didn't mean to open a can of worms there. Just saying might be better to be on the property before the East MEC has an opportunity to negotiate away my recall rights in exchange for crew meals.

Been on the east side since 89. Only spent 6 years on the property due to furloughs. They don't need any excuse to furlough you,they just do it and remind you to not let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.If any of you have a better gig,stay there,this group is ruthless and will always be that way.

This new group isn't your old group anymore.

 

[Bubba Dog]

Same group of folks,they will dominate the west side very easily.

I guess you're talking about ALPA East, I was talking about the management.

How many E190s are expected on the property by the end of 2007? Will most be flying out of CLT or PHL?

I think by the end of 2007, it's supposed to be around 15....though with the dealyed nov/dec deliveries, not sure if it will actually be 12. Flying will be out of PHL, with the first routes being PHL - pvd, bdl, bos, mht, and a few other places. Have heard that the 170 is coming to CLT in Feb....

 

[BenderGonzales]

One airplane a month? (yawn) Call me when they open a CLT base for the 190 and maybe i'll raise an eyebrow. Two leg commute for the what that thing pays? No can do.

I'll go with June for the 190 and not until 2008 for Group II airplanes.
