WARN letter

[pdub20s]

I got a WARN letter in my Co. Email today saying that law requires the company "to provide affected employees written notification that there may be adverse employment action due to Delta’s planned termination of our agreement"

I surely hope this does not mean what I think it does

ouch... at least they gave you notification.

Worker Adjustment Reduction Notice! I got one of those after 9-11 from American Eagle. About a month later there was a furlough letter in my v-file. When I was let go I found a left seat job on a C90 for a year. ASA then offered me a job about the time the C90 was to be sold. In the long run, ASA has been better for than AE. If you are willing to move then there are a lot of other flying jobs in the US.

he flies for freedom/mesa. word on the street is that they suck. i'm inclined to believe the street's word.

I thought Mesa was desperate for pilots - just because the freedom contract is going away doesn't mean their jobs are going away too. Are freedom/mesa separate lists?

all one list. they've got some problems at the moment. delta is trying to cancel their contract, one lawsuit judgment on the books for about 50 million with another one on the horizon, some hefty bonds coming due over the summer, and stock trading for wooden nickels. not a good time for them.

If you reduce you're flying by 25%, you are no longer desperate for pilots.

Received it via e-mail? Don't worry about it. I got an email telling me that I won the Nigerian Lottery.

Start to worry if it arrives via registered mail!

You and your scumbag airline are DONE! and not soon enough in my opinion. Hasta la vista.

WARN letters are required to be sent out when the company is reasonably certain they're going under. If they fail to provide notification under the WARN act, they will technically be required to provide up to 2 months salary when they tank.

It does NOT have to be via certified letter.

With the WARN notification, they won't have to.

I would take this as a very, very serious sign that Mesa will be facing significant difficulty in the near future. Furloughs almost definitely, and bankruptcy very, very possible.

If you haven't started looking for a job at another regional or elsewhere, I would start now. As in, call in sick today, get your resume set and mailed out to as many places as you can, NOW.

I wouldn't be to picky about where I went, either. Plenty of pilots on the street, and it's already a tough market.

For what it's worth, I'm really, really sorry to hear this. Best of luck.

Comair is hiring again if interested (better than no job at all but not by much).

 

[On Your Six]

You need a plan B. I would immediately get your resume together and start looking. You probably have already started the process. The fractionals continue to hire - I would look at Avantair and Flexjet at the moment - both Netjets and Citationshares have long lines. Take a look here:

Good luck.

I don't know your story. I don't know why you work where you do, but I do know things suck for you right now and I'm really sorry to hear it. Things will get better. You will find a job.

Good luck.
