Evergreen Furlough

[HA25]

Looks like EZ is furloughing again.... is this the usual seasonal thing or for how long? I'd heard they were getting a new 400 too, what gives?

They got a really cool waterpark....

How many this time? When is the effective date?

 

[scubabri]

Didn't they just advertise for 747 pilots?

This is Evergreen we are talking about here.

Must be doing it early this year, don't they normally furlough on December 24th!!

You can set your watch by it.

I heard 20.

Where did you hear 20 from? I heard only 12.

I heard potentially many many more... time will tell.

3 Capt. downgrades and 10 FO furloughs.

This airline sucks. They need to FIRE management, not furlough crewmembers.

But hey they recently announced the addition of an adventure park to go along with the just completed water park!

Occupy evergreen!

Parking N485EV and N470EV at the end of the year from what I heard. Adding 1 BCF sometime next year.

well, that's gotta be worth at least 30-40 furloughs and 10+ downgrades.... so what's to come of this pool of 20 guys they hired?

"sometime next year" the three most spoken words at Evergreen next to "You are fired"......

Hmmm...

 

[Zoneload]

And who knows if they will park the two planes or just store them till March. I have heard the 470 needs a C check and they don't want to pay to do it. 485 has 115000 + hours and it is time for it to go. Been here 23 years and have seen this plenty of times and it sucks every time. Sorry for all the guys affected..

Too risky these days to come to Evergreen as a new hire.
