ASTAR to Furlough

[jettypeguy]

I heard the word went out last night that there will be furloughs. Any truth to this?

More management harassment. Just another page from the play book.

Man that sux... I also heard that there will be displacements in all seats. Any idea how many they are planning on furloughing?

1 is to many, but 5 is the number. 1%

i heard going from 29 727-200's to 20 727's. loss of 9 ships. round 1 called for -5 s/o's, but astar was already short. round 2 and 3 will call for 11 year f/o's to be bumped to s/o.

dhl is loosing their ass in n. america. cannot grow or make any money. estimates are upwards of 1-2 million loss every night

 

[Cargoav8or]

Maybe.

Pluss their BS ploy to try and creat and an alter-ego KHK company failed in court when GCAS repossed their aircraft. Sorry to the KHK guys and gals. Of course that fat lady hasn't sung just yet either. These guys cant put a deal together to save their life!

DHL goes, so does Astar and Abx, good luck.

Naaa, all smoke. DHL is not going to leave the US market. They may make some drastic changes, but there will be a few yellow boxes floating around the US for a long time.

IF they were to go, then you are right Astar would be gone and maybe ATI and Cappy would have enough work for ABX. But didn't Astar just have a new hire class? Either DHL cut Astar as part of the "new restart" or Astar management is just playing games with the pilot group. When metal starts getting chopped up then I will believe it is what it is being sold as.

If a furlough is in the works, I truly feel sorry for the people involved. As a 2-time furloughee from ABX, I understand their pain.
