CAL to Reduce Captain Slots, furlough?

[acbarney]

1) No furloughs
2) No captain slot reductions if 777s get negotiated. If not, there will be 30-50 capt slot reductions
3) Approx 120-150 displacements

Expect the union to do nothing.

Where do you get your numbers?

If there are only 30-50 Capt reductions how do you get 120-150 displacements?

first of all the company says their over staffed for the last four months including February we have had a VRF Vol Reduction of Flying. Company basically asking guys to take time off without pay, but not furloughing. If we are over staffed why is reserve min coverage below everyday and we are all flying 80+ hours a month with most of us with only 12 days off.

a second issue I think the company has on their hand is if they have a displacement their are a lot of guys that already have been trained out of senoirty order according to a captain that I'm flying with that does union work.

We just have to wait and see what they have in store for all of us at Cal. Hopefully something soon.

The company is contractually obligated to offer VRF.

Ripple down effect of downbids.

Ex. 1 Captain reduction and they go to 777 F/O, knocks the bottom 777 F/O to 756 F/O who knocks the bottom 756 F/O to 737 F/O. Mix in changing bases it can get messy

All in theory of course.
