AA furloughs cancelled!?!?

[magrs]

Apparently APA has been informed the planned furloughs have been cancelled.

At least a little positive news out there!

I thought they were waiting for the final retirement numbers August 31 before deciding on further furlough or not?

What will come first, a new contract or recalls?

Well, I did not see that on the APA page, what is your source?

Nothing official, but the furloughs maybe cancelled afterall.

168 retired between 01 Jul and 31 Aug. That and the lowering of the fuel may be enough.
Let's see if in fact the recent trend is too not furlough any pilots.

JP, What Say You ?

Hi Wingman... I say, no hats or haircut until a new contract. Make that no hats ever. Yes I'm starting to look quite shagadelic. That said, like you said there have been 168 retirements since July 1. I think it is only a matter of time before the Co puts out an official statement saying there will be no furloughs in the immediate future. Further evidence that they were simply trying to intimidate us into accepting that lame a$$ offer a couple months ago through the "promise" of "only" 200 furloughs. Riiight.

Hope your well buddy!

73--If your hair gets too long, they'll displace you to LAX...

Just a note on topic: There were never any firm furloughs. They "planned" on 200 but no letters were sent (some debate as to the requirement to even send letters to a small group).

If no "planned" but not "announced" furloughs happen, does that mean they were cancelled? TC

P.S.--How many DFW Chief Pilots does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

(Answer: DFW CP's can't reach the lightbulb because they're always on their knees in Hetterman's office! )

Color of socks!

Hey 73,

If you find yourself flying out of LA, here's an old saying from my TWA days: What color socks do the different bases wear? White socks in STL, black socks in Chicago, dirty socks in NY. In LA? No socks!
