Attention: Gulfstream Pilots
Ref: Company Offered Leave of Absence

In today’s Company Update Letter, Dave Hackett outlined steps Gulfstream will be taking in order to survive through this difficult time of increasing fuel cost and decreasing passenger volume. Shrinking capacity to meet customer demand is a must. To this end, Gulfstream has sold the fleet of EMB-120 aircraft and will be shifting some 1900 capacity to the Cleveland operation. Also, some markets in Florida and the Bahamas will shrink or be eliminated. With a downsized fleet comes fewer flying hours ultimately results in fewer pilots needed for the scheduled flying. We are looking at every way possible to keep all pilots flying, but a furlough may be inevitable.

As a result, I am accepting requests from pilots for a Company Offered Leave of Abs

Any pilot interested in a COLA for a minimum of six months, please reply to this email and I will forward the details and paperwork to you. If an adequate number of pilots take a COLA, no pilots will be furloughed. However, the required 30-day notices are being sent out this weekend to pilots who have potential exposure to a furlough.

Let the flaming ensue!
 
How do you get 20 paying passengers into a B1900?

Ask Gulfstream.
 
Doesn't furloughing end up costing more money in this particular case?
 
very mature responses.

A lot of very good pilots, very hard working people work at Gulfstream, and while the management is driving the airline into the ground, and furloughs are around the corner, all you can do make a joke? You should be proud of yourself. Karma is a bitch.
 
If karma is a bitch I'd be putting down that stone in your Gulfstream glass house.

Karma is hurting this profession by paying for training and taking a career shortcut at the expense of everyone else.
 
I guess PCL_128 won't be able to go back there.....
