Is it true: Airtran ti fire proby pilots

[bravodude]

Our union put out the word that the airtran ceo decided to fire all the probationary pilots before talking with the union. Good Luck to all the AirTran guys. I have a loot of good friends there. I may stir the pot with my two "favorite friends" Lear 70 and PCL 128 but if this is true it really bites the big one.

Ummm...and which "union" would that be that you supposedly belong to and is supposedly putting out this misinformation?

Nobody has been fired or furloughed. According to the AirTran Chief Pilot himself, as it stands at this moment, there are currently no plans to furlough/fire the probationary guys or anyone else for that matter.

By the way, learn how to spell the word, "to". Check your thread title.

Ohhhhhhh, I thought he was referring to the Periodic Table for "titanium". I guess "to" makes more sense.

Actually it was a rumor that turns out to be a true conversation. The company wanted a concession. I'm not sure if it was to drop everyone to a 60 hour guarantee or to be allowed to not furlough the training dept retirees first. Anyway, the union said no and the company stomped their feet and said "fine, we will just fire all the probationary pilots." This was discussed in an all pilot conference call. I did not listen to the call but heard it came from the union. Anyone actually listen to the call?

I listened to the call. MB said that someone in upper mgt stated that they would fire the probation pilots, he did not say who said it but you can probably guess. He stated that no one in mgt has refuted this certain VP's statement. MB said that the NPA is working on everything legally possible to keep the new hires on property. Personally I believe it is another scare tactic from mgt.
