USA JET Has Mass Layoff

[Porky]

Due to the increasing saleries of upper management they are forced to layoff many so that they can afford there lifestyle.

Oh I almost forgot, they have parked the entire Falcon Fleet.

Details to follow after a company meeting at 1:30 PM

[TWA]

[172Capt]

[Porky]

I bet you all that the VP's still keep their company cars.

 

[DTWgirl]

Hey guys, I'm sorry to hear about all this. I'm not a pilot or FA and I got the ax too. (I'm sure you can guess who I am). You guys are all in my thoughts.

 

[pilotyip]

no comment, I didn't anything this one until this morning when Bill C left.

 

[Capn Sac]

Sorry to hear about the lay offs. Cape Air is hiring for 2 classes in August and Sepember. We are actually growing and getting more 402's, PM me if interested.

I just heard about this and man I feel sorry for you guys! Another year and another round of furloughs from USA JET. Hopefully it will be short lived guys, keep your head up. I wish we hadn't hired our class already so we could get some of your guys on board. Good Luck

 

[Dieterly]

I wish we hadn't hired our class already

What's wrong with guys you already hired?

 

[SWA/FO]

How many furloughed? Looks like Bill C from the training dept.?

Hey guys, for what its worth, SWA will be hiring 550 + this year. I made the jump almost 7 years ago and have not looked back. Rough couple of weeks for the USA Jet gang. Hang in there guys!!!

 

[landlover]

good luck guys

 

[Mach]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Time for me to fire up the ol' resume.


This morning I couldn't get to my company email. Then a call from the Chief and DO. Separation notice is in the mail. YAY!!

Could not of come at a better time when job competition is super fierce out there with 10000 pilots on the street.

Sorry to hear about this. Welcome to professional aviation.

Edit: BTW Pilotyip, this is why you shouldn't go on a public website advertising to all the youngsters on FI of the "hiring boom" in 2007. You just might look like a douch.e one year later...

Class hadn't started yet...

You know how much easier it is for me to teach furloughed Falcon drivers as opposed to Cessna flyers? A LOT! Wish I could help out Guys.

 

[pilotyip]

Good luck to all the good people affected by this furlough. I was one of the unlucky furloughees back in May 2001. Made it a total of 9 months there before getting the bad news.
