Evergreen Furlough

[Zoneload]

I think you guys would have done better without BF.. I am a big fan of the flight crews and you guys should get lots more for what you do and for what you have done.

I could be wrong but I think we have moved into a different time here at the zone. The new president and CEO wants to make this work. The old leadership may just leave him alone to run the airline. I have never seen that before. He has a long up hill climb but I think he can make it work.

friend of mine that works there is telling me that the MEC is basically negotiating a concessionary contract..... more days on, no business class travel, and cuts in benefits.... all in return for a "couple" of bucks an hour... but the productivity and travel gains for management will be a windfall for company... what do you hear?

There aren't any negotiations going on at all.....as far as any concessions; it will never pass. Not a chance.

What your friend is passing along is the companies proposals...DOA!

Company says that the 2nd 400 will be operating last week of May and the 3rd 400 will be operating the last week of June. All three are on property.

with about 20 FO's per plane, does this mean they're going to be hiring 40?

Any plans to park anymore classics?

 

[GG747]

The company's communication states that all classics will be replaced by B747-400's by 2014-2015. If EIA can find work for the classics they will fly them. They might be around longer.

Here comes the furlough again....

 

[Zoneload]

9 FE's from what we have been told. Due to some of the 200's being parked.

 

[avpro91]

should be something like 13 fe's, 26 fo's and 13 displaced captains....maybe more..my math's not perfect

 

[propsarebest]

now which ones are being parked? is 471 FINALLY done?

 

[GG747]

This sucks. 200 fleet looks to be about done. More to follow............

 

[scubabri]

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?
