This so called management couldn't correctly man a local Circle K. I'll give 'em this... they are really good at creating middle managers. Just look at how many dorks you see in green vests w/clip boards the next you're doing your walkaround. Kick me in the nuts, then ask me for a favor; I don't think so!

Not a chance...I won't do a damn thing extra for this ma/pa outfit...what a joke! Cancel the furlough and recall or look out!

Baja.

I agree with you guys. As a minimum the MEC should demand a suspension of VSA while there are people furloughed. That should be the first demand.

Second demand should be a line average no higher than 75 hours. Period.

Check out tomorrow's reserve coverage and notice how high the hours are on everyone. I would say the average is about 70hrs! That very high flying hour total accompanied by NO reserves in SEA or LAX today and multiple canceled flights due to lack of pilots would lead one to believe we are undermanned. The question is...will the company take action and remedy this or continue on with the strategy of having Kemp send out messages begging people to VSA/work more while pilots are out on furlough? Unfortunately I believe the latter to be their course.

It depends on how many "answer the call". If many do...then they will keep doing it.
