World Furloughs?

[Colonel Savage]

Is it true? I heard 5 F/O's got notified.

 

[UM#1]

You heard wrong, in fact still 2 crews short on the 10, think they might still be hiring.

What's the -400 doing that was working for LH?

They had a class of 4 DC-10 F/O's and 4 F/E's this month (jan 09). I am not saying it may not happen but unlikely for now.

Supposedly we were 5 F/O's heavy on the MD-11 and that would be taken care of through attrition. As of now, no furloughs.

Well, that brand NEW 747 is sitting in LEJ, wasting money.

The parking is free and we heard North American was making soo much money for the GAL family, that we could just park our planes for a while and take some extra vacation.

It's not exactly "brand new" either.

Cheers,

I think he meant "family" in the West Virginia sense of the word. You know, like when someone says: "He's got a real pretty mouth, ain't he" and, "you gonna do some prayin' boy, and you better pray real good", or maybe even, "hey boy, pick up that soap for me".
