AA April 1 furlough cancelled...

[aa73]

Good news for those slanted to get furloughed 4/1. (No, not an April Fool's joke!)

So how many does that save? Weren't they originally planning on 175?

Great news!

But what did the union trade for keeping those 175 on the job???

 

[aa73]

Nothing traded, just a bunch of "I told you so!" regarding the undermanned status and the upcoming summer.

I think around 80 got furloughed March 1, so that would save close to 100 that were originally slated to go.

Hopefully, this is not some sort of sick April fool's joke!!! : - (

The 80 that were just furloughed were only back about a year and this is furlough # 2.

I am happy for those who dodged the bullet...Please tell me it is not true what I just saw on ALPC (below)... Are approx 244 Eagle FLOW-THROUGHS seriously going to be trained for hire at AA before they let the merged / stapled TWA guys come back????? Please tell me this is not true!:

Not to change the subject, but once the inevitable recalls start coming, does anyone know exactly how many Eagle flowthroughs will be ahead of the TWA recalees? Sorry, i really don't want to start a big war here, just wondering in case the recalls really happen...


reply:
Probably 244. All we really know is the arbitrator agreed those people should have been in class with recalled pilots. What we don't know is the final remedy and how it will be implemented. Answer (hopefully) by late May."

Why not? They are senior to the TWA guys. They even looked at total company time to see if the TWA guys were senior and the results were that the Eagle guys were senior using that measure as well.

Why not? Because that was not the agreement.

Let me get this straight. TWA pilots merged with AA pilots and now are all AA pilots. There are hundreds of AA pilots on furlough. American is going to flow pilots from another airline, Eagle, BEFORE they recall all the real AA pilots. YGTBFKM. Someone must have stated this wrong, there is no way that can float. This is most definitely flame bait.
