Flexjet

[exagony]

Do we really need a manager for flight attendents? With only 20 flight attendents do we need any overpriced desk jockey to parade them around waterview once a year???

Well, it clearly isn't about money because pay cuts and schedule reductions were offered as an alternative and they shot it down so, reducing my pay solves nothing--per their own words. NONE of the people let go will ever come back, even if called next month and I don't blame them. Fred has taken this ship to whole new level with communications being right at the top of the list of problems with this place---BIG SHOCKER.

I think if we reduced down to one ACP, that might reduce some cost. Why do we need 3 ACP's?

I hear ya. I dont even know if I would come back tomorrow if they called me. The way this thing has been handled has been a big joke in my opinion.

I think FR was one of the last people hired therefore he should be subject to the RIF. Maybe we should fire him as well and get a new person to run FlexJet.

Maybe Obama or Biden might like to give it a try after November when they lose! I think either of those clowns could do just as good of a job running us into the ground as FR.

and did they do it from the bottom?

(I hope you don't mind me adding to your question)

7 early retirements
22 let go from the bottom
6 other pilot spots to remain unfilled
2 Flex Canada
10 from the Waterview

....and we have to wait until Monday to find out what the almighty hurry was.

 

[doylehargraves]

yea 37. I'm not understanding what the 6 "unfilled" means though.

interesting, "wait til Monday"... companies usually announce bad news on Sundays, when wall-street closes. But I don't think Flexjet is that big to affect Bombadier's stock price that much

I suspect it means we were already running lean and elected to keep those spots open.

I asked the same thing and was told from Tom that there were six spots that they were planning to fill, meaning recalls I assume, that they obviously won't do now.
