The old farts I refer to are the ones that OPENLY admit they DO NOT NEED TO WORK. Jeez, you netjet guys are a bunch of whiners. Grab your backpacks and go download some more Spears.

AND as far as "doing the right thing"; If I'm 70 years old, don't need to work for financial reasons, I would proudfully retire early if it meant saving ANYONE'S JOB. It is the ethical thing to do and since you netjet guys only think of yourselves, look it up in the dictionary you pricks.

I'm a FLOPS guy and I also think you are a prick!

I'll be more specific. I believe he is saying Flex should have laid off the guys on this thread who are whining about the old guys who won't retire. My opinion, fwiw: If you start getting rid of guys for some arbitrary reason, where will it end. Layoffs in seniority order, and terminations if you can't pass the checkride or get a medical because of a permanently disqualifying condition. Other than that, fly 'til you die if it makes you happy.

Thread drift, I know,,,,, but at least Porter will get her landing!

By the way, I agree with you. It seems like a "these guys got hired before me, and now they are older, so they should leave anyway" kind of jealousy.

Get over it.

Any positive news from the employee meeting this week? One of the 25 would be interested to know. PM if need be. Thanks.

Some may have noticed that some of our "special people" are being shown the door as well.

FastJP4,

There's some light at the end of the tunnel. We just don't know if it's the other side or an oncoming freight train.

Any inclination on that light? Thanks - PM if need be.
 
I wasnt there, but my impression from the notes posted on the BB was that more layoffs is more likely than not. anybody else get that impression?
 
My impression was that the company thinks things will stop the downward trend by 3rd quarter, and then stabilize for the rest of the year. That might be my optimistic thinking. Hang in there all of you that were furloughed.
 
Thanks guys. Here's to hoping there's no more. This side of the fence truly sucks.

I've only heard of one on the 45, you with me brother? The way I understand the furloughs they're based on the net loss of aircraft for the year, so as long as we don't shrink any further we hopefully won't need to furlough again.
