ASA furloughs 80 pilots

[CFI2766]

I'm thinking people are going to pick up open time no matter how much you guys want to argue about it. Everyone has their reasons. As for me, I'll leave the open time pot alone til the 80 return, which is tough since I'm usually a whore for building my lines up. Times are tough, and we'll all feel the pinch in some way, unfortunately some more than others.

Truth.

If you do not pick up open time, you save the company money because they will give it to an idle reserve who is being paid anyway. You play right into management's hands by refusing to pick up open time.

The only time this will not be true is when all of the reserves are going over guarantee. Don't pick up open time when it gets to that point!

But for now, you should help yourself.

This has been the most compelling arguement yet!

Uh............................ an idle reserve can pick up open time, and at most places, that is paid over guarantee at time and a half.


Not sure how that doesn't cost a company more money?

If that was ASA, I'd be bidding reserve, picking up open time and making a killing (if there was any to get).

Well said. Fear not Nuge, I will pick up a few tabs on my recurrent visit to ATL to make up for your open time sacrifice!

Cheers- Rum

haha, that sucks, maybe next time the contract comes due

People at the tranny didn't pick up open time. All furloughs are getting called back.

Is that a compelling argument?

Yes it is. ******************** anyone who picks up open time.

Airtran Management Sucks

Airtran recalls happened quickly because your management is _ucked up and they do not know how to run an airline efficiently. It was not because open time was refused by crews. They furloughed prematurely and probably recalled prematurely as well(speculation, time will tell).

Believe what you want about picking up open time to save furloughs, I don't have a dog in this fight.

Your the one with no dog in the picking up open time fight. You said it yourself

Now I feel like a retard for arguing with you on the internet, but I am mostly posting because I am bored out of my SKULL.

Well, consider yourself lucky that he didn't drop the, "How's your mom?" comeback that he loves so much. It's a stinger.
