ABX furloughs 12

Furlough?

Next question Sporto, is it a furlough or a termination, or are you just going to let your little story build a life of it's own and see what gets the most response?

My guess is Sporto is a S/O. The certified letters hit the mail this morning, followed by a telephone call from a Chief Pilot.

4 S/O's and 8 PFE'S. This evens out the manning on the 8. But still leaves the 8 and the airline overstaffed.

My guess is that a surplus, followed by more furloughs of both pilots and PFE's will follow.

What does everyone else think?

Actually, Freighthound, sadly, Sporto is telling the truth. After reading the posts I started doing some calling and found out that the furlough of 4 SO and 8 PFEs is correct. I will confess that I posted hastily and out of pure anger without checking the facts. I suppose I just get so tired of people slamming ABX that I posted with a "knee-jerk" reaction. My deepest apologies.....

Your a real dick now. Why don't you just ask other sources until you are completely satisfied.

What's the matter? Pissed about the draining pool of open time in the 8's lately?

UHGG! Some people....

Hey Sporto I am sorry to hear you are getting furloughed again. This business sucks. Do not supose your friendly Chief Pilot gave you an expected length of the furlough?

Hey Sporto if you read the post I didn't deny you information might be right I didn't buy that it was happening to you. Your prior post have been such flamerbait that I'm still not convinced you are who you say you are. You've cried wolf so many times it falls on deaf ears. Even so I certainly feel for all those being furloughed even you Sporto. These are crap times at ABX.

Thank you. Getting thrown under the bus is bad once but even worse twice.

No info on when returning. I'm guessing 3-5 with the pattern of reduced flying via DHL, never if HR 65 passes.

This really sucks for all you guys, especially the SO's, sorry to hear. Funny thing is the union just agreed with the company on allowing the OPF to increase in the 767...
There are some of us that will not allow this to go unnoticed, and continue to happen.

How about some of you stop and think about how much open flying and vacation buy backs you do. Cash in the bank off the back of some guy trying to feed his family? It happened once here, the junior guys will not let this happen again quietly.

And BS on the "I was furloughed too, so suck it up" crap. Where you furloughed because your fellow pilots couldn't make it on what their currrent salary was?

Good luck guys.
