WELL ITS OFFICIAL NOW.
In what may be another sign of a turnaround in the business and corporate aviation world, the private jet service and fractional ownership portion of Cessna Aircraft has announced it offered recall notices pilots it had furloughed in the past.*****
Per the press release, in 2009, CitationAir furloughed 85 pilots, 'in*****order to right-size the business and be in line with customer demand during the recession, consequently cutting the company’s pilot force down to 307.'*****
Recalls had been offered to all 85 of the pilots with 53 accepting and returning to the company. After accounting declines due to other reasons such as attrition, the CitationAir pilot roster has 334 active pilots.*****
“CitationAir has made strides in the past couple of years not only to survive the recession, but to grow the business afterward—a feat of which we’re very proud,” CEO Steve O’Neill said. “In doing so, CitationAir is the only company in the private jet marketplace to have offered a recall to 100 percent of its pilots after a furlough. Our ability to offer a recall to all of our furloughed pilots is just one of many examples of how much we honor our workforce, our company, and the value we’re able to provide our customers.”
