So, over all, is this a good thing for our furloughs? From here is seems like a pretty good deal for a pilot who wasn't going to be recalled any time soon...or am I missing something? Anyone hear from people who are taking it?
Unless the furloughed pilots are absolutely desperate to get back to flying I would think twice about coming to the 9E side of things for now, I can't speak for the 9L side. The pilots that come to 9E will be replacing our overly used and beat up reserve pilots. I would suggest enjoying life for a couple more years and riding out the furlough until management forces a recall.
Just my two cents, but if you don't believe me ask a 2-3 year reserve pilot how life is at Pinnacle.
So is this managements attempt to get the aquistion off on the right foot with labor or is this a sign that Mesaba will be shrinking forsure down to 41 plus 19 = 60 aircraft? I guess what I'm getting at is, it doesn't seem cost effective to train a pilot that will be recalled sooner then later at Mesaba. I'm guessing they are figuring that Mesaba won't be recalling for a long time and they will get there investment back on training a mesaba furloughed over at Pinnacle or Colgan.
