ASA Furloughs?

[cybourg10]

From the XJT MEC update:

[FONT=&quot]On the ERJ side of the house, we are seeing block hours increase again and more pilots being hired and upgraded. In addition, we are bringing back 18 of the 26 furloughed XJT pilots who went to ASA over a year ago. They will be arriving in the training center soon after the New Year. Added to that will be furloughed ASA pilots who wish to be hired on the ERJ side and placed into training as new hires with us. MOU 25 outlines a process similar to the one in MOU 18 when our furloughs went over to the CRJ side. While these furloughed CRJ pilots will be new hires on the ERJ, they will retain their furloughed status on the CRJ. Once the seniority list is integrated, they will retain their CRJ seniority spot on the pilot seniority list.

What have you guys heard?

Nothing. Perhaps a little slip of the pen about things to come. We are still losing 8 more airplanes over the 6 200s.

Because your performance sucks and SkyWest inc. will take more airplanes from you... I hope!!!!!!

Found this pic about 8 years ago on google or something, not implying anything. Why does it bother you? Its still slightly funny to me.

That is not a Skywest Brasilia. It was a paint job to celebrate the 500th, or 1000th Brasilia delivery, or something along those lines. Also, if you notice, that is not a Skywest uniform...silver bars and scrambled eggs.

Have furloughs been announced at ASA? Because it sounds like they were just announced at ASA to XpressJet. Nice.

 

[Sherpa]

ASA is like a mushroom farm, you know they are feeding us sh1t and we are kept in the dark.

Obviously there will be excess pilots once the COMAs are sorted out. Its not really a furlough when you have job. More like a displacement from ASA to XJT, then a boost up the list once SLI is complete

Do you know for sure there will be no official furloughs and only guys moving to XJT or are you just trying to sound like you know everything again?

Not as simple as shifting over to the ERJ, you can be sure. They will all be NEWHIRES, starting again on first year pay. This $%&^*# place sucks dogs balls.

No they wont. Check the MOU. Pilots from sister airline start at 2nd yr pay

Sh stated probably a decision on this in a week or so. It might only be a short furghlough. Jerry might start thinking about a airtran/southwest type deal if the burn down the house legacy xjet guys keep it up...

 

[twott driver]

Going to be years to get the contract sorted. Nothing to see here

777 master of the obvious, the rest he just blows it out his ass!

How exactly would Jerry achieve that Airtran/Southwest senario now that we have a SOC?

Medeco, we will be lumped in now with the XJT folks. As with the last contract negotiations, Jerry will play ball up to a certain point, then he will take his ball home to the Skywest side of the operation. If our XJT folks don't get with the program, we will all suffer on the ASA/XJT side.
