According to a resent post on the company web it seems we now have an "over-abundance" of 145 pilots...
The company is offering Leaves at no pay for a period of 1 month.... extensions will be on a monthly basis to try and avoid furloughs.
I find it interesting that they can take pilots (Shuttle America) and put them directly into E170 class to "Avoid" having to furlough them. And before a settlement on Seniorty list is settled! A direct contract violation... and do this and let our own pilots be forsed to take leaves without pay, or possible furloughs........
Sounds like we may not be hiring any new pilots for awhile... it would make sense to transfer to the E170 rather than leaves or furlough.... this is my speculation...
