e120pilot said:Hey 701EV, that's good to hear Skip is saying no furloughs, but most of us have heard this stuff before. When I was hired, we were told we would be Brasillia captains in less than 6 months (RJ Captain in 2 years), 3 RJ's a month would be coming for the next couple years, and that we would be hiring 100 pilots per month. Well, I've been here over 2 years and not one thing we were told came true. Instead I've spent most of my time on reserve at the bottom of the list.
Many of the things listed above are either incorrect or should be breaking news. Comair and ASA have 58 CRJ-700's on order (not the 60 that you said-ASA is getting 31, Comair is getting 27). Not a big deal, but that's right from the Bombardier and Delta websites. That's also news to me that we're getting some CRJ-200's in 2004. According to Delta's annual report, there are no firm orders for ASA or Comair for CRJ-200's in 2004. If some options have been exercised, I would think that would be announced somewhere. Hopefully, there is something in the works, but I'm not holding my breath.
Wow, we were told the same things when I was a new-hire. Do you think the company lied to us?
