Another 63 on the street at FLOPs

[jetwash]

Not anymore.
537 - 67 = 464.



It sucks but the numbers are the numbers

537 total pilots

104 Furloughed Nov 2008
63 Furloughed Jan 2009

370 still active.

Some is due to slow down but much of this is posturing for negotiations. Friends in scheduling tell me that we are not a slow as Tyler is wanting us to believe and we are selling off a boat load of charter, charter that could still be serviced by our jets and crews. These furloughs help to paint the sky is falling tone as we are moving into the final financial phase of negotiations. Shortly after completion of the contract they will miraculously find a way to bring a large number of our guys back. Playing games with peoples lives.

Thanks Ford & Harrison you sh!tbags.:angryfire

and i bet those jagbags at F&H advised middle and upper mgt to take pay cuts as well to show solidarity in keeping the company afloat!

I love how were the lowest paid, stay in crappier hotels, have the worst medical, waste more on plane paint jobs ( if they still have paint on them), yet we still lay off 167 pilots. This just dosen't add up.

If I were to take a VERY educated guess, I would say mid 2000.
