AS Recalls?

[mach none]

GuppyWn, where do you commute from? North Bend, Pendleton, Pocatello and/or Idaho Falls?

 

[CGHercster]

Come on Friday... 1700 bid posting. It's gotta happen!

 

[Baze]

Hercster,

I appreciate your optimism. But, we may be waiting another week on this.
There are going to be vacancies, but the question is how many of those vacancies will be filled with guys coming back from leave?

Good luck to us all...

 

[wscrj]

We even have an over 60 guy coming back from a 1 year leave. He was bored....

Oh, It will, Just not this friday

Come on Friday... 1700 bid posting. It's gotta happen!

If I were a betting man, I wouldn't wager on today, BUT I would bet on a bid before Labor Day.

Just got an email via Firstclass confirming a "possible bid in the near future" from the flightcrew admin.

Things are happening.

 

[Baze]

I'm very very very cautiously optimistic. Heck, I'm downright ready to be disappointed by this bid.

WSCJR, I just went and checked CoachClass and I didn't see the E-Mail you're referring to. I even looked under the Flight Crew Admin section.

 

[wscrj]

Yeah Baze, you gotta be in the special "furlough fodder" club to get it.

 

[Baze]

Well, I _am_ "special" for sure... and I was very close to being "furlough fodder" last October 1. Both of those should count for something.

 

[QCappy]

I am furloughed and don't have anything in my first class, either.

 

[wscrj]

The jist of the email said that we showed up on property just after the bids were purged, so we still show SEA. We are to update our standing bids. I'm guessing it's just the 12 of us that got the message.

On AlaskasWorld today,
...... We’re doing very well by making money in a down economy — but we need more than one profitable year before we can grow the schedule again and recall employees we’ve had to furlough.......

 

[Old School 737]

I think they are talking about regular employees not Pilots?

 

[Green Banana]

O, ya I forgot, we are not just regular employees, we are...

(Cue Superman Music)

PILOTS! ...................

 

[Old School 737]

24 positions in the new bid according to GB message.

 

[QCappy]

It's a start! Nice to finally hear some positive news.

Could you post more details of what was said. I can't seem to pull up the VP message.

 

[QCappy]

PM sent.

For a guy that is getting recalled, that sure was anticlimactic.

I'll be more excited when the letter arrives in the mail in a couple of months.

 

[Baze]

Even more excited when you're on the 2nd floor, sitting in a classroom.
Beers will be on me.

 

[Z_Pilot]

...and a huge letdown for the rest of us.

 

[QCappy]

...and a huge letdown for the rest of us.

Yes it is. I'm sorry. That's exactly why I said in my post above, "It's a start." At least it keeps things moving in the right direction, as slow is it is.

 

[CGHercster]

The FO reserves looked busy today.

 

[Baze]

Four (count 'em, 4) flights canceled today due to lack of pilot crew.

 

[GuppyWN]

Welcome back gentlemen. When do you start?

Gup

First class is in October.

Personal call from TK was the first "official" word of the last recall. Letter was anti-climatic by the time it came.

 

[turbodriver]

Anybody know what the voluntary furloughs and LOA's are planning?
