Evergreen Furlough

[GG747]

Well you know you will be called back for the holidays. Bad part is the post Christmas furlough that we have every year.

 

[dash8driver]

Consider it as the company giving you time off to go find a more stable job.

Oh, and take the opportunity to do so.

Is there such thing? I'm skeptical.

 

[GG747]

Better jobs are to be had.

It's amazing what's going on at Evergreen. You guys should walk away and see if the owner wants to do airline or not?! At least that way you know where you stand. If he wants to do airline then he must stop screwing people's life off, if he doesn't, then screw him at take the experience some other places. It's ridiculous reading all this BS. I understand this is his company and he can do whatever he pleases, but also this is your living and lifestyle, so screw him and walk away and that way see what his real intentions are vis a vis the airline.

We are putting 1 classic down for good in Aug and two more are going in for heavy checks. So that leaves 4 -200's to crew and 3 400's.. We are hanging on by a thread now. I hope we make it past Aug.

its easy to say "just walk away" but there are some fellas over ther with 30plus years just gaining experience at the Grim. once you get older it gets hard to just walk away and prove your point!

I hope it works out for the pilots group but im a skeptic the way ez has been miss managed for the past few decades.

yup, I'm in Shanghai on IOE. what sucks is I'm gonna forget everything I learned during the furlough. without time to build in the skills, if there is a recall it will be tough.

whats the name of that trucking school, truckmasters?

Scubabri;

I seem to recall people telling you not to waste your time with Evergreen. But the urge to fly the big metal is powerful!

Now do yourself a favor and get out while you can. Evergreen is the Titanic and if you stick around your career will go down the drain.

Consider the furlough a blessing in disguise. it is a chance to GET OUT!

The word out on the street is that 2 aircraft are sitting overseas for maintenance and that unless Evergreen pay $6 million they are not getting them back. Don't know how true but wouldn't be surprising.

Does EZ still want a two year note signed for $?? When I was there it was a gentlemans agreement with no $ involved.

Not true...

Sorry Bro, I ment no disrespect. I hear you.
Maybe there is a Kharma after all. The Old man son dying and so. He's been terrible when is coming working with people. It looks like he's been some form of Dictator in other life or he thinks he is some kind of special with a Devine call to be a water park God?!

It has always been just your word. No $ to worry about. The union would never agree to that.

I did hear a few years ago that they approach BF about a $ amount and he said no.

I can't see how in this down economic time, with military draw downs and all this company which is barely hanging on by a thread is going to make it? The competition is so much bigger and financially stronger too.

 

[GG747]

FMS, hope your wrong. If not can you donate that sign to me?

 

[countbat]

Hey guys what's the latest at Evergreen?

 

[scubabri]

63 furloughed. Hopefully they'll pull it together.

 

[GG747]

More furloughs effective September 30th.

 

[Zoneload]

How many?
