ASA Furloughs?!?
Umm...We here at ASA have heard those rumbles too, but I tend to discount them as BS. First, they cannot furlough out of senority order, and all of the new hires have been placed on the jet. Getting rid of them doesn't do anyone any good as they are needed to fly the jets we are getting while us Brasilia guys are sent back to school. Second, we aren't that over staffed, and will only take a net loss of 2 a/c this year due to the Brasilias going away.
On a side note the Brasilias in ATL will be parked towards the end of April. Right now we are being told that the Brasilias in Dallas should be around at least until the end of the summer. They just started installing the new cockpit doors on some of the a/c so I tend to believe that one. If the airplanes were gone in April, they wouldn't be doing the doors.
At worst D ) I figure I could maybe get a month or too off with pay if the training dept gets really backed up with Brasilia transitions this summer. If I get furloughed, I would expect ALPA could beat it in court.
