CAL Letter of Intent to Furlough

[rk772]

500 were sent out. I received mine today. I'm about 490 something from the bottom.

Sorry to hear it. Good luck to all CAL furloughees.

What seniority date does it go down to?.... good luck to all.

CAL just posted an updated seniority list. I'm 467 from the bottom with a hire date of 03/06/07.

And just to clarify, these are not furlough letters. They are notices that Continental intends to furlough in the future. Federal and NJ State law require that CAL send these letters before any furloughs take place. They sent 500 out to cover their a$$ just in case the furloughs go that deep.

They are coming. They would not waste the money. Save your money now.

Will they rebid everyone?

Nothing is ever certain in this industry. Wait until the numbers come back from the ERW and the COLA's. Stranger things have happened. I don't think anybody is making any bets yet. There will be a sustem bid that has now been moved to August that will reflect how many people with take the EWR, COLA, LTVRF, etc.

What money??

I'm wondering if they'll rebid everyone too. It's going to cost a bunch to retrain everyone that gets bumped off their equipment by displaced pilots.

Ya, if I was very Jr. in that fancy triple thingy, I'd be nervous also. You guys might have to show up and work!!! Hopefully this doesn't come to fruition, but I also am waiting for the early retirement, cola before worrying. If the fuel drops all of this is off.

Jeez,,, do you EVER have anything positive to say?

You don't work anywhere remotely NEAR CAL... why come on their thread, drop that pearl of "wisdom", fail to even wish anyone good luck, and make the rest of the AAI pilots have to disavow you?

I've stayed out of the UAL/DAL/CAL threads about things like this because I don't work there. That said, I apologize for Scarlet - he got past the hiring group somehow and now we have to spend our time apologizing for him (hell, even some of his friends PM'd me to apologize for his comments in AirTran threads,,, and let me know who he was while he was in training).

Scarlet, take a F.I. vacation again. It was nice while you were too busy studying for your checkride to post here. We didn't have to listen to your management kool-aid. As close to the bottom as you are, maybe you should just wish other people well rather than point out the negatives at THEIR airline...

Good luck to the pilots at CAL... and everywhere.

Lear 70 if you were so up on everything you would not be breaking the law.

Insurance fraud can put you in the big house....You got off easy...let it rest.

yeah all the people that worked with you at PCL have nothing but good things to say about yourself -sarcasm,and some of them worked with you in the union=so they know.

Best wishes to all those who will be affected at CAL.

 

[Long Time Gone]

His story didn't sound like insurance fraud to me. If it were, I'm sure he would have been prosecuted. Changing a tire on his car or whatever it was with a back injury isn't exactly insurance fraud. Being out with a back injury and collecting on it while working at Home Depot lifting boxes or working for a moving company, however, is.

Did anyone see the thread about CAL??
