Piedmont Furloughs & Downgrades

[meyers9163]

We are still gonna furlough at the end of the summer. This increase summer flying has offset the loss of 4 planes buy increaseing the flying on the planes we have. But by the end of the summer if the other 7 go back to the lessor's you will see a big time furlough still at PDT.

You really think this fall will be a large furlough? I mean those 7 planes are not going back just yet are they? Its still POSSIBLE you keep them?

 

[zasca]

yes, possible. But so is having Gisele sit on my face...

I like the way you think!

Weirder stuff has happened. Hang tight- this will be a very crazy summer.

Increased flying? Antique airplanes? No spares? Why whatever do you mean? I'm sensing some summertime beach-induced illness coming on.

I'm sensing 3 swaps a day to make the schedule work on paper. Yet multiple delays an cancellations when it doesn't work like paper says.

And how many times have we said that? Bottom line Piedmont is a Zombie Airline.

Were not Alive and were not Dead. We walk around dazed and confused. We have been screwed so hard for so long that applying sandpaper to allow us to feel it doesn't work anymore.

No Sig, we have all said. 'Man, we are gonna see some changes is summer'. Or 'look out for a crazy summer'.

But the only thing that happens is nothing.

Thanks for flying Zombie Airlines.

Hell, I think the only good thing that has happened is the SBY FO that made the Rap song! LOL

I wasn't clear. Remember '04? Remember when you signed in for a scheduled trip, but had no effing clue where you were going to be that night, or when you'd be back? A check-in/out message every day? That's what I think is going to happen.

They'll be running the lines of flying so tight that a tiny rash of heat writeups will screw crews all over the system.

That kind of crazy.

Kid's a genius. BSO, BITCHES! BSO!

They could just keep the airplanes.

Nah. That would make too much damn sense.

Heres a little good news for the PSA poeple. Apparently the scumbag who does Pdt's schedules is no longer doing PSA's. It's back in house thats why are lines have gotten so much better.(relatively speaking). Not sure if it's true, just what I heard.

 

[PoorJetDriver]

He supposedly still makes the pairings but we are now "optimizing" the lines in house..

 

[zasca]

damn! We need to bogart your line optimizer over here!

Back in house after they were trained by the PDT person. Dont know if its gotten any better though?

They still have a lot of 4 days with the complementary out and back on the fifth day. Several of the Dayton lines are home every night.

You notice when I said "optimized" it was within quotes...
