AA to furlough 178 more

[Mr.B]

I hope Paul Emmens is enjoying his "victory".

Who is this guy?

Who is this guy?

He is the ****************************** bag at Southwest that took it upon himself to personally screw 100's of unborn pilots while allowing pilots that already had a full career to stick around for 5 more years.

or

He worked hard and spent days upon days storming Captial Hill as his organization, APAAD (Airline Pilots Against Age Discrimination) campained to eliminate the unfair practice of retiring healthy pilots at Age 60.

Take your pick,
Gup

Is it still "unfair" that they have to retire at 65?

Maybe we need to start a group. "Air line pilots against furlough while managers collect bonuses."

************************pilot furloughs************************
i have the unpleasant responsibility of announcing the furlough
of up to 175 pilots in the first half of 2010, with the first
furlough of 80 effective march 1. This furlough will go through
xxxxxx.xxxxxxx, sen #9545. Your chiefs are working to get in
touch with these pilots and personally notify them. The company
will continue working with the apa to develop possible furlough
mitigation solutions and is pleased that our conversations have
already produced positive results.
.
I bear this news with great sadness. We have all worked so hard
to ensure the success of our airline - none harder than the
pilots impacted by this announcement. My thoughts and prayers
are with these pilots, as well as those already on furlough.
These individuals are our friends and colleagues. They are a
part of what makes this pilot corps the finest in the industry,
and i look to the day when we will be announcing their recall.
.
Regards, mark hettermann

Sorry. I copied it from another board and didn't read the details very well as I was so pissed off reading the headline.

Gummers suck.

178 More golf carts, fishing boats, Harleys, airplanes, RV's, cruise ship berths, vacation homes, etc. sitting idle while guys with families to feed hit the skids.

Are they off their freaking meds? Why put up with the BS to leave in 3 more years with a few bucks more.

Because with the trend in the market it could be another half-million!

Don't you just love it when they pull out the pics of the boat, airplane, new hangar, while they tell you about their African safari.

Will any of those folks back-wash to Eagle?
