How far back would that go for hiring? Any estimates?

Good luck to all at XJT.

Furloughs are starting in October not September. From the mouth of the CEO, I was at the meeting today. He told us this verbatim, please don't spread misinformation. No number has been discussed either. But the date is definitively October 1st.

Branded is officially gone...

No thanks. Happy trying to work things out on our own. No bad words to the working peeps at Skywest but management at CAL and Skywest can go @#$% it.

At least we tried to be something more than a staffing company. If oil was at $85 a barrel I bet branded would have continued. Loads have been great we just can't charge the right fare. Same boat as EVERYONE else.

More changes to come.....

Thanks for not letting everyone down, you have successfully portrayed yourself as a Tool once again.

How is you venture working out about trying to recruit other regional guys to throw the Union representation? Must not be going good if you are giving one of the largest regional pilot groups the finger with this fine post.

I'm sorry you don't have management that knows how to make a profit and treat people well....that must suck....I understand why you are unhappy....

Wow, you've really become a hard-core management kool-aid drinker, Joey.

Nope....I just like working for a company that knows how to make money and treat people right....I understand you don't know what that is like working for Gulfstream, Pinnacle, and Air Tran.....

I'll support whomever protects my job, runs a good company, and treats me well.....

Hate to break it to you....But that's the system we have....We should have never allowed it to get to this point......But we did....

Whether you want to admit it or not....We are all competing with each other.....Silly way to run a union....but that's what we have.......
