SkyWest furlough?

[MALSR]

I hope this rumor isn't true for you guys. Heard your also canceling new hire classes. Just about everyone's gonna be in the hurtbag for awhile.

 

[amcnd]

Not true!! EMB classes are running once a month with 14-16 newhires a class for the rest of the yesr. CRJ Newhire.. the 3/10 class was the last one until September then newhires every three weeks tell the year is done. EMB upgrade 8-16 every month the rest of the year. RJ upgrade 8-12 every three weeks starting back up in june. (THIS CAN AND WILL CHANGE... IT ALWAYS HAS) most likley for the better.

Nothing more than a rumor...for now

Rumor. For now.

But rumors are what make FI so great.

 

[CFI2766]

Can't be real. Bad for everyone if this is real.

 

[ROSWELL41]

Just got back from SLC today. I spoke to some folks in the training department and asked about this. This is entirely a false rumor. Let's hope it stays that way.

 

[willNOTfly4free]

Of course this is false. SkyWest is the greatest regional airline in the history of mankind and would never furlough.

But a good enough of a rumor to make me take a peak.

 

[TOOL CRIB]

Will they furlough or will they just flat out fire? Nobody can tell... no union!!

This is a good point.

NEVER?? Wow. How many have said that?

 

[fly4surf]

Hire right up to the furlough. Just like a 'Major.'
Quoting through year end hiring is a little silly, it's only March. With an impending slowdown/reduced spending recession looming.

CHQ fired rather than furlough. They have a union.

 

[Dubya]

CHQ fired rather than furlough. They have a union.

Thanks! I just couldn't resist the low road in my response.

[M-crit]

Furlough? I heard they're going to cease operations and liquidate.

 

[difete]

Our God given Policy Manual sent from above has provisions for furlough pilots. Ha!

No furloughs as of yet, just lots of reserves in certain domiciles.

Im a furloughed CHQ ramper! Been so since September 2004!

 

[Axel]

Was that at STL? Bad deal for all.

I was referring to Oct of '01. CHQ dumped the Saabs on Shuttle America and rather than furlough in seniority they fired 125 Saab pilots that were on probation.

 

[BLing]

Axel,

No it was when they closed LNK as an out station. American ruined a good thing. CHQ had 9 packed STL flights a day. American decided to dump all that to have 3 ORD Eagle flights a day. That was a nightmare, so they closed LNK.

And I dont think that we even go there anymore.
