Is it true: Airtran ti fire proby pilots

[Kharma Police]

The other Herb Turd chimes in!!!!!!

Lear70 can't be affected because...he doesn't work at Critter.

You will be affected by it because you will be closer to the bottom.

What a pathetic company that threatens to fire probies.

Please by all means, find a different way to commute to work.

 

[Skank]

Yes, it is true that the company made that threat.

They haven't actually acted on it.

Yes, the pilots are ticked off... have been for some time now.

Not going there with the blanket party comment...

Don't know why BravoDude felt the need to post a new thread; this was discussed ad nauseum last week. He seems to have a hard-on for anything anti-AirTran, never has much of anything good to say. I'd put him on my ignore list but other people quote him, so it doesn't do any good... easier to ignore him and put him in the J-money/InstructorDude/TankerClown category and move on about your business.

Thanks for the support, Vixin. :beer:

You just referred to the three pillars of flight info. Please try to show more respect when mentioning the exalted three, or there may not be any virgins waiting for you on the other side.

What are you doing now that your job as a Skyway stewardess is gone? :laugh:

 

[PCL_128]

Knowing this place - I wouldn't be so quick to say that none will be...

I firmly believe it's nothing but a bluff, and a damned good one at that. The guys in MCO know what they're doing. A shame that our union doesn't seem to.

I is next to the O. Grow up spelling police. Who gives a rats behind if he had a typo? While in bad taste, if even remotely true, Airtran pilots should be one ticked of bunch.

Looks like you could use a little time with the dictionary yourself pal.

"of". You mean, "off".

Don't worry about us. We'll be fine. We don't need you telling us how ticked OFF we should be. That is a 24/7 item over here with this management.

 

[bravodude]

Dude dont go posting that information. You are an embarASSment to SWA and SWAPA.

So i try and find out if its true but somehow thats bad taste. OK dude.

 

[bravodude]

Bravod0uche, no probie has been terminated, and you can bet that none will be. Simply an idle threat. But just so you know, neither myself nor Lear70 would be affected by it if they did. I'm sure that eases your mind.

All i did was ask a question. you gave me an answer and thats all I wanted. You want to keep bashing me go right ahead. (all in all i'm glad no probi is going to be fired or anybody for that matter).

Perhaps you didn't mean any harm by it. If that's the case, my apologies. I took it as you taunting our junior pilots.

Bravo, He is an idiot.

Patience,,, arbitration is coming.

But then you wouldn't have anyone to sling mud at... classy.

True.

The game's afoot now. The NPA just sent out a blast email that the company has stated they will seek 180 furloughs. Funny, the number of probationary pilots is 183 effective Sept 1st.

Coincidence? I think not. Scare tactic? You betcha. Will they go through with it? Don't know. It's a game of "Let's see who blinks first".

Also seeking pay concessions of 10% from CA's, 8% from F/O's. The general consensus on the internal message boards, even from people I've never seen post before, is GFY.

Maybe the pilots are seeing the light of day that saving 1/10th of 1% of the total CASM isn't going to make or break the company... We can hope.

If they are going to provide the 60 day notice required by the WARN Act, they will have to furlough later than that.

 

[PCL_128]

If they are going to provide the 60 day notice required by the WARN Act, they will have to furlough later than that.

If memory serves, the WARN Act only comes into play if more than about 30% of an employee group will be affected. I don't believe it is applicable in this case.

I have no reason to taunt your junior pilots. I have quite a few friends there so I was just wondering if it was true or not. Thats all.
Getting fired is no laughing matter and I would never joke about that.

******************** I hope not...I thought only regionals try to do that. Thought "mainline" even at Airtran was supposed to be free of BS like that.

bravo + pcl= girl fight!
