ASA Bad news is out.

[boknowsASA]

From the memo:

It is for this reason that it is with sincere regret that ASA will furlough 56 pilots, effective Sept. 1, 2009.​

We expect a total of 65 captains to move to first officer positions.​

This sucks.

 

[COOPERVANE]

No good news since I started with this company!

and here goes the morale............

What DOH does that furlough back to?

 

[blesko]

11/21/07 i believe

 

[boknowsASA]

11/19/07 but whats a couple days

11/19/07 but whats a couple days

By my calculations that puts 890 and 891 at the bottom of each left seat list. Of course that means there will be a vacancy award on the 700, it'll be interesting to see if that goes junior or senior.

 

[CaribPilot]

So that is everybody that wasnt on the contract.

Nope! SKYW will sacrifice the ASA side to keep their boys happy. Get used to it.

Hope ASA enjoyed their performance numbers. If we bleed like this and SkyWest gets the easy ride while we suffer, there won't be an A-14 or D-0 flight from me until this place tanks. I'm getting pretty fed up here...................

I got it right about 900, many as you mentioned are on the 700.

What kind of industry have we turned into when we're wishing furloughs on someone else?
