That seems like quite a lot. Did the pilots know this was coming?

But it appears they are not going to release anyone early if they should find a job before 1-16-10

Does anybody have an approximate date of hire ?

The union has been warning the bottom 500 since the Spring.

 

[Vingus]

I know a guy that was warned by the union a few months ago. fortunately he lined up a full-time guard job. he's one of the lucky ones.

 

[CA1900]

Yup. The exact number remained to be determined, but amaineiac said, the union has been warning the bottom ~500 for quite some time. Their estimate was pretty much dead-on.

Good luck to my furloughed friends; we'll work damn hard to get you back ASAP!

So even Warren Buffet's companies are not immune. Sheesh.

Good luck to the NJA guys

What percentage of the 495 are stapled NJI guys?

Or is this a topic that will get me banned...

NJI was never stapled...there were a few NJI guys however that are included in the furlough.

Will it be the same number of downgrades or more because there are more CA/s to F/Os?

No downgrades planned at this time
