You can bet they are about to drop the "F-Bomb."

-Wouldn't be Shocked....

Since you guys only have one base left, that would be my guess too. Sucks, I've been there at a meeting like that. Base closed and oh by the way here's your furlough notice too.... Best of luck guys. Hope the 900's at least reduces the impact.

 

[JumpersAway]

Hmmmm- doesn't sound too promissing. I would hope for some good news, but that seems to be running in short supply, with the exception of the 900's. Here's hopin'.............

Whats so good about 900's?....they pay the same as your 700 and you get rid of more planes than you get.

can't see the Forrest for the trees huh?

 

[on autopilot]

The meeting will go like this:

Management: Any of you into Anal?

Crews: No

Management: You are now.

Guess not. explain it to me.

furloughs

 

[ohplease!]

Guess not. explain it to me.

there will be no more 50's....ever.
there will be a reduction in 50's....count on it.
the future of regionals WILL be 900's and in the not too distant future something approaching the 100 seat range (not quite but right up to 100)....bank on that
either ASA gets 900's and loses 50's or ASA loses 50's....which would you consider worse?

Apparently on apc some are saying their roommates have gotten furlough calls. Apparently 80 furloughs.

yeah, for now its still good for decent conversation and a little good info...kinda' like it was here 5 years ago. But this is GREAT entertainment though. REALLY fun at times.

 

[Max Q]

80 notifications is correct.

[ACL65PILOT]

That is a lot better than the 163 that was initially planned.
It could get worse, but those 900 save about 80 jobs!

Just curious, where did you hear 163 from?

 

[JumpersAway]

Hate to hear that for our junior pilots. Hopefully they won't be on the street too long. Any details on what was said or what to expect in terms of length?

 

[Texx]

Old number. He's an old fart that has left us.

New number looks to be 137. That should be a DOH starting 12/10/2007 if I'm correct.
