ASA MEC Letter

Brad and Chip met with Delta today, details I'm sure will start to emerge in the few weeks or so.

Very interesting- one can only imagine what that was about. I'm sure cost structure, performance, and DCI planning was part of it. Delta probably still doesn't have a clue as to what they are going to do with us, and whatever they told Brad to begin with will change a day later anyway.

i know we are fat on FO's, but seems like all the reserve captains sure are flying a bunch lately.

Good, maybe they will move the displaced Captains back to their seat.......................soon.......I hope.

 

[SLUF4]

I hope so too-how many are still displaced?

I think we are down to 17 of us. Not bad- especially compared to the numbers at the other regionals.

 

[SLUF4]

well hope they all get back soon; not sure if the business is due to comas or sick calls or what

 

[Abernathy]

Other airlines are hiring?

It was sarcasm.

With contract in place, don't know if they will be furloughing.... Probably get some kind of agreement with ALPA to do reduced line building or something...
I would be ok with them lowering the guarentee from 75 to 50 or 60... avg. line with 15-20 days off...
I would much rather them do this and keep everyone here....

Hi!

My buddy and I (he is WAY up on hiring info) and I (especially since I was laid off) have been looking at hiring.

As far as we can tell, the ONLY airlines that fly feed in the US that are hiring today are Mesaba, GoJet, (street captain only) and Great Lakes.

Pretty scary.

If U have any hiring info, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

PS-Emirates is interviewing in Feb, and the LCC carrier they're creating is hiring, along with contract jobs in Asia. There may be other Asian carriers hiring, but I don't know about them.

Cliff,

As you know this industry is getting hit pretty hard right now. Check out AirlinePilotCentral.com and it will give you an overview of who's hiring, payrates and good general info about each airline. I can use it and I'm a computer moron, so it's pretty userfriendly. Good luck to you, I hope you can land something quick and keep yourself afloat.
