Big-A furloughs

[kevdog]

Yeah, especially since "bottom" captain at Arrow means spending two months a year without your captain pay.

Ronald, where do you work?

 

[McNugget]

Big-A furloughed, dude, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to make this thread. Check your PM and you will know I'm for real.

Take Care

 

[Crzipilot]

they still furloughing by seat, or are they actually furloughing by seniority these days??? You guys ever get a new contract? What was given up or ??? I saw somewhere the pay raises you guys got when "the head" group bought the place out. I was down there with the airplanes in Thailand, and got furloughed when we lost that contract. Thought of going back, but naaaa...skipped it for now...

 

[McNugget]

Sure we got the pay raise, now they are asking to lower the guarantee to 50 hours. Of course, it's not much of a raise if you are furloughed.

Actually, the union has been able to enforce the contract in the sense that some DC-10 crewmembers (especially FE) have been able to "flow-back" into the DC-8 if their seniority allows it. CA's can also be displaced to FO. The displaced DC-8 crewmembers go to the unemployment line. I bet they are/will be spending more on training costs than they will on furloughs. If, that is, they actually let those guys go back to the DC-10 after the recall.

P.S.- I don't advocate or support any hatred towards the Focus pilot group. You go to work, fly your aircraft, and go home. Nobody can fault you for that. This is all about company B.S.

The question is why do you keep coming back to a place like Arrow?

The question is why do you keep coming back to FI rhoid?

Heh heh, never had to go back to any place before...and a lot of us are looking elsewhere. I guess, each to his/her own, ya know? I don't understand it either. But jobs making the $$ are few and far between, not like you can just afford to jump ship for CHQ first year pay.

 

[RJDC]

Why don't you go to a reputable company?

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

Where are you?

Ha Ha, I would like that.




P.S.- The court jester routine is kinda funny. I'm slightly entertained, other people are tired of it. You know that already. Whatever floats your boat. Let us know how it goes at Jet-U. See Ya.

So what other companies is Arrow outsourcing it's cargo to other than Focus?

 

[McNugget]

No others flying Big-A freight that I am aware of at this time.

MIA cargo carriers who furlough their pilots:

Arrow
Centurion
Tradewinds

Any more?

Tradewinds isn't from MIA. Centurion has only furloughed once...unlike Arrow who is known to furlough many times each year...but maybe they are heading that way.

Amerijet is another who likes to furlough. CAT used to furlough every x-mas to get rid of people they didn't want. After Menlo shuts who knows?

I'm sorry, guys. I have to make fun of people on flightinfo to make me feel better about myself. I have no self-esteem.
