Furloughs at Kalitta Air

[cherry20's]

It is that time of year I guess....

Sorry to everyone at both companies.

 

[dash8driver]

yup...
don't know how many though.

~7 captain downgrades, 13 FO and 7 FE furloughs....

 

[One Dot Low]

First furlough for Kalitta since Connie restarted the company back in Nov. 2000. After 8 years of growth and expansions and now this. My prayers to all whose names are on the furlough list. What a way to ring in the holidays. Tough times ahead for all.

~7 captain downgrades, 13 FO and 7 FE furloughs....

these are evergreen numbers...

The Kalitta numbers will be substantially larger than that.

That sucks. They just hired a bunch of great ATA guys.

WTF is up with this industry? Is it ever going to turn around?

That sucks. They just hired a bunch of great ATA guys.

Aaah...yeah. To say nothing of all the great Kalitta guys who are also out on the street...

 

[ATA For Now!]

You guys are right. I wasn't trying to say one is better than the others. I was just furloughed from UA and it sucks.

Aloha, ATA, CO, UA, F9, Comair, TSA, Southern, Evergreen and anyone I missed, It is an awful thing to go through.

Hopefully, we will all fly again soon.
