ASA Future..Furlough, New 900's, etc

All I know is that on the 200 captain side today there are 13 people on the list and 1 guy is listed twice on there. All of them are working. That's good for us to show we are needed, but it has been busy.

Crazy. It's amazing how somedays there can be 50+ people on the list then another day there is only 1 person available to be called (1900 napper)! I'm guessing that the low coverage is due to them thinning the lines out. Can't imagine us displacing any captains. Seems like we are going to be real short (near term) when they move some people over to the 70/90 here in a couple months.

Not sure why the low coverage, but there do seem to be a lot of maintenance repos lately and tons of reroutes..I know my pairing got modified about 16 times my last trip. Sometimes I think they make problems worse by moving us all off our trips. The performance numbers have not been that good lately. I noticed they had to cancel a LEX turn today due to lack of crew.

Then there is an obvious need to furlough......
Just ask the Comair guys.

I'm sure it wasn't lack of crew, it was a lack of a captain. Good thing they displaced those 30 captains a few months back.

 

[SLUF4]

yeah; it's totally ridiculous...we can't have our performance numbers staying up high so let's furlough so we knock em back down to the old school levels

That's right. The more cancellation due to "no crew", the more furloughs.
