Attrition at ASA?

[Flybywire44]

Has it slowed down at all? I find it hard to believe we're still losing the same amount of people.

 

[PositionandHold]

Either that or the monkeys in crew planning are still hiring like we have some huge shortage.

Which we uh. dont.

Uh, you might want to educate yourself. HR does the hiring, crew planning builds your pairs/lines.

Who knows now without a great group in the CP office (secretaries that is) excluding Gene, that's how we all used to find out.

 

[BIGGOAT]

Last week the official count was 29ish pilots leaving ASA since the last seniority list. The cp's keep an excel list of pilots leaving, just ask and they'll show it to you.

Manager of Crew planning, BM, said that he was told by SH and CT to not slow down hiring at all, even to the ATR. If the airplanes go away, then ASA will have an excess 100 or so pilots. Last I heard about 25-28 a month.

Especially since Jean is a woman, and Gene is a man.

Stockpiling pilots...it must mean something big is on the horizon.

There is a difference. Has nothing to do with crew planning.

Yeah. Coma lines or furloughs in September.

Perhaps they just learned from last summer and are trying to prevent staffing problems, premium open-time, etc. this year.

 

[Cpt Oveur]

Maybe more flying out of IAD or ORD this summer

 

[CFI2766]

I like the thought of some quiet plan to add flying this summer, but I agree with what someone else posted earlier about not wanting to pay time.5 for the summer months. Once the new pilots are on property, then, COMA lines or mass furloughs in the fall.

Reallly, imagine how interested the airlines would be in being able to bring pilots on property only for the busy times, but not paying them for the rest of the slow times.

At present, the COMA lines are voluntary, but I could see management attempting bargain for involuntary COMA lines.

That's my rumor. Mesa collapses and SkyWest Inc secures the United flying.

There's already a name and a section of the contract for that. Furlough.

 

[PCL_128]

What's a COMA line?
