ASA to recall furloughs

[Jack-O-Lantern]

Now some of those mouthy idiots on the ASA ALPA board with their pessimistic worthless drool can STFU now!
Who am I kidding,that won't happen.

That is the min number. If they want to put more into any seat they can, but they have to place at least 12.

I get that, but they recalled 42, and say they have 12 places to put them. I would think they would show 42 slots - or vacancies - to show where they need to go. Not to mention with 4 700's, at even 3.5 per plane, there should be 14 vacancies just to cover the new 70's, and if they know that a couple are leaving for Vietnam, even more. I guess I have no clue how they figure the vacancies.

Welcome back to the 42. Hope to see the last 100 soon.

I wonder how junior IAD FO will go. I'm thinking with 42 coming back it's quite possible a furloughee could go straight from the street to lineholder in IAD.

They are trying to manage the IAD thing. I believe that they have to pay moving expenses if you are recalled to a base different from which you were furloughed.

Word is that ASa is buying Mesa so probably more recalls coming.

For the last time... ASa CANT BUY ANYONE... SkyWest, INC. can....

It would be dead wrong if pilots displaced to IAD were forced to stay there why lower seniority pilots were given a comfy ATL slot.

I got less than 400 bucks moving expenses after taxes. It is a very small cost to pay moving expenses for 24 or so furloughs to head up here.

Trip 7, you took the money in lieu of moving. If theses guys know they are going to be on reserve and decide that they would rather pack their happy buts up and bring in the trucks it is a little more than $700. I'm not saying it is right or wrong, I'm just speculating as to why.

I doubt they'll be able to hold people up here anyway since there are vacancies on both the 700 and 200

No paid move after 6 months of a new domicile unless you're displaced. I think the awards are effective 9/1 so no moving money

 

[gator_hater]

Just looked it up something about recall within 90 days to a domicile different from that furloughed. Not for them, but others could get it. I had the exact same time frame when going to SLC, paid for the move myself and heard conflicting definitions of "6 months." I turned in a stack of receipts and got a nice fat paycheck next time. It is worth the effort if you end up in that situation.

With about 40 people total going to Vietnam and 42 being recalled, there's your number. Six of the -200s still don't have a job by the end of this month, and 4 -700s are coming. Sounds like a wash to me.

 

[Max Q]

Where do you get 40 going to Vietnam from?

Any number of technical games can be played with money:

ASA could buy the frames with cash from outside investors, Skywest could buy and lease them to ASA, Skywest Inc may choose loan money to ASA or ASA could work with a third party firm to acquire frames.

They are recalling for a good reason. PBS would really make this awash and not require recalls. More planes on the way.
