CitationShares laying off another 40 pilots

[commuterguy]

This is on top of the 20 something a few months ago. Bad time to be a pilot.

At this point the thread starter is somewhat full of it. We did receive word that if conditions did not improve in the coming weeks we would see a reduction in staff (not just pilots). No confirmation of furloughs yet, and certainly no numbers. Possible - Yes. Probable - more so than I'd like to admit. However, until it happens, please refrain from making statements as if they were factual.

It's the fear mongering.

He states it's a bad time to be a pilot.

In reality, it's simply a great time if you are employed regardless of what you do for a living or the career choices you've made.

Amen to that!

I'll rephrase it for you Mr. Jetblue, since you're right. It is a bad time for ME to be a pilot, since I will most likely be out of a job here shortly, because of the dumb choice I made leaving a regional for a "secure" fractional job. I'm sure no Southwest captain is boohooing about it being a bad time to be a pilot. I stand corrected.


If things "imporve" in the next few weeks???? Please.......

Anyone who has a job should be happy in these times.

I have no desire to see ANYMORE pilots furloughed. Alot of these guys are friends of mine and they have families to support.

I wish CS success as with all the fractionals

I feel your pain.. I think about that 'choice' i made to go to the fracs also, but it's simply a timing issue. Life is much better here, BUT, it would be better there with a job, then at a frac without one..

And he said 6-10% which would be somewhere in the 20-38 range.

Did he really say that?

It's not fear mongering you idiot. Our CEO didn't do much to quell the fear. The guy may be at the bottom of the list. How the F woud you take it if it were you.

CS guys guys don't bother with you so piss off and go back to your own thread and leave us alone.

Actually, I get many PMs from CS guys that support my views. It's probably because they understand the points I make because they are non-union and want no part of your turmoil.
