Any news on the GLA furloughs???

[Cardinal]

Mooser, dude, I took the voluntary leave of absence from GLA and am happier than a pig in $hit. Came up here to moose country, biking, kayaking, hiking, flying some R/C, I even get to go to OshKosh this year. One of the best decisions of my life. Consider this a vacation from a job you don't have yet. Incidentally, the Beech gets crazy hot every time it touches the ground - at least in a Cessna you can hold the door open during a long taxi. You and I get to skip all that nonsense this year.

I have trouble beleiving March of 2005 - normal attrition would have us down to the staffing levels we saw prior to the "Big Brasilia Buildup" well before March, me thinks.

to chew on

From the grapevine:
My FO just told me we are bringing back 3 of the furloughs

We are going to Vegas temporarily to fly some stuff for Scenic Airways

A station manager is telling a story that she requested a replacement vehicle from CYS and was denied b/c "it is all going down south"...

Hey it could be worse.. getting a type rating in less than a year (for many of the folks heading back to the right seat)

Chew away!

Just heard no 1900 captains are going back to FO in August, as of yesterday. I think everyone threatening to bid Brasilia FO if they got bumped back did the trick. I would still love to see those CYS a$$clowns get hosed with more unnecessary training costs just to make a point, although they probably wouldn't even freakin' notice.

Will someone who has current info on GLA's payscale submit it to WWW.airlinepilotpay.com...


Thanks

Talked to a contact from ADOT yesterday;


Mr. Stevens said that "They have been behind on getting their recomendation on the EAS cities, but will have them in within the next two weeks."

Sounds like we won't have much longer to wait...

Don't hold your breath, nobody really knows what's going on. They lost the bid to put Brasilia's in Nebraska so that already frees up more crews.
