CitationShares laying off another 40 pilots

[rigger]

Maybe I missed it so I'll ask. With the recent round of lay-offs how far back on the list will it hit DOHs? Only looking for an actual date.
Good luck and it'll get better so try to stay positive.

Nothing official just speculation, but if it goes to 40 that would be a 9-7-07 Hire date

If you take into account that the current pilots on furlough are still on the list, there are around 380 active pilots. Reduce that number by the ones on the list that do managment or other jobs and your are down to about 360-365 range. If they go the full ten percent that would mean about 36 get fulroughed. My prediction if it happens it will be the same numbers as last time. 30 furloughed and 13-15 downgrades. Let's hope it don't happen.

Don't think anything is official yet.

Here Jehtboy, is what you posted "officially" on another thread about competitive pricing.

"Not at all. I KNOW CS is numero uno."

Uhhmmmmm. What does "numero uno." mean? I'm guessing "Second to furlough, twice"

Is that close?

PS. Other than this Schizo, I wish the best for all CS pilots, never met one I didn't like on the road.

You are such a man. A real class act, have a nice life!

Please unhijack this thread. We are approaching the 2-4 week point when Steve O'Neil said a decision would be made about furloughs. If someone has real news, that would be great. If not, please show some restraint. I spoke to my ACP yesterday and he hinted that the "7-10%" would be closer to the 10% now.

Date?

 

[XTW]

For what?

 

[m4j2t]

Did your ACP hint at a date for the announcment.

Nothing has been announced, what difference would a date make anyway?

 

[m4j2t]

I am just trying to validate/dispell other info I've heard.

 

[bailout]

We were busier than forecasted in March so hopefully this wont happen, but I would think the March numbers would be in by the end of the week.

Has anyone who works at Citation Shares been updated on the furlough situation? My sources tell me they are planning on announcing the furloughs today, and that it will be a significant number of employees. I hope I'm wrong.

Nothing yet. If your sources are right I would gamble to say there is a chance they are at least one day off. CS has a habit of giving good, bad, or indifferent news on Fridays. The bosses hit send and then run to the parking lots to go home. Standing by for the announcement.

Just got the news...a split of office and and pilots for a total of 46 being cut. Estimate 20-25 pilots. Notifications on Friday for those affected...I await my call tomorrow.

Well OCR I'm going to split you 50/50 on this one. Just got the announcement with details to come tomorrow. It's rare that the flightinfo sources are ever correct. I wish you had joined the masses and been wrong this time as well. Good Luck to those affected.

So I was a little high with 40 pilots, looks like it will be mid 20's according to the announcment today. Sucks.

That sucks, as a current CS furloughee, good luck to you guys.

I am going to be one of those guys that are going to be cut from CS if they do cut tomorrow. But it will be really close for me. I hope some of these older guys will do the right thing and let us younger guys work and save our houses.

So it's cool for an "older guy" to lose his house? Class warfare is bad enough. This age warfare is getting really old fast. I've been furloughed along with tens of thousands of our collegues. I have never wished that upon even the more senior folks, much less the bottom feeders. I don't get this new age crap I guess.
