Alaska management announces up to 165 furloughs
Management Verbally Notifies ALPA of Expected Furloughs
Your Association met this afternoon with management at their request. Management had requested the meeting to provide an overview of their planned capacity reduction for 2009 of 11%, and how they envision it will impact the pilot group. Although they provided nothing in writing, management verbally informed your Union leadership at this meeting that they anticipate furloughing up to 165 pilots between November 1 and February 1.
Your MEC continues to talk with management about the possibility of implementing retirement incentives and extended leaves of absence. Management indicated the number of necessary furloughs could change based on the number of pilots who elect to take retirement incentives and/or extended leaves of absence if they were offered.
Your representatives have been meeting for about a month, since management first stated that furloughs may be necessary, in an effort to find ways to best protect the interests of this pilot group. At the meeting with management today, your representatives asked a number of questions, and requested that management provide further analysis on ways to mitigate the furlough numbers,
