Airtran job

Would probies that don't honor the picket line be treated as scabs? It's quite a risk, if you have a family to support. It's not just your salary you're putting on the line.

I don't know if we have any probies left.

There will be 2 classes with some new hires Feb and Mar. I am one of them, and i worry about the situation. It is a major switch for me.

Actually, the current number being passed around the schoolhouse is 100 pilots for the year.

25 are currently in class. 21 new hires, 4 returns from furlough/leave is the last I heard.

When would the 75 additional come on board? Summer? Fall?

 

[Lear70]

Don't know. Just what I'm hearing... If I had to guess, it would be later in the Fall to have them online for the Christmas season and the early 2011 deliveries.

But again, that's just a guess. Good luck to everyone...

I got a rumor of the week email regarding the training center. I hope someone informs the newhires as what propaganda might happen in class.

Dilute the kool-aid before drinking would be my advice and don't get that big 717 tattoo across your chest like the Navy Battleships.

Do the 21 February new hires empty the pool?

That's a good question. I'll try to find out for you.

Latest memo from the Chief Pilot, dated 2/17/10:

"We have been interviewing the last 2 days. We are not accepting resumes or recommendations from our pilots. Applicants can put on the application, pilots who can give them letters. We will call you if we need any information. Please don't bug Stephanie or anyone else in recruiting to ask if someone you know interviewed got hired or or why they did not get hired. They should get word within 2 days of interviewing. AirTranJobs.com is where they can put in their profile and application if open."

Savage makes a good point, my gut instinct tells me the MEC would not want anyone to cross a picket line, If we do strike, you get fired, and the company manages to somehow stay alive and give us a contract, we better do every @#$$@ thing possible to get your job back.

With that said ....Welcome aboard!
