Fogrunner,
I guess you are right...
Even if they were to furlough, and since we are here less then one year and not covered under the contract, you think they 'll furlough by seniority? Like you said that would cost them more money to cross train.

Yes. I would be very surprised to see us furlough. You are flying with some grumpy old men who are miserable and love stirring the pot.
Centurion just furloughed something like 30 guys and sent their DC10-40 back to the lessor. We had some Gemini guys leave last year to go over there. They have all been furloughed.

Does that mean that GAC will hire them back or did they burn their bridge? That's all that those of that want a job at Gemini is 30 DC-10 qualified guys running around looking for a job.

I don't know. The majority of the guys who left here were PFE's.

I see, thank you for the clarification.

They are almost all management folk, instructors, check engineers, etc. and were in the same class as myself. The furlough at Centurion (from what the hawks are telling us) is supposed to be very short-term. Yes, we returned the -40 and have had another plane in C-check. The replacement to the -40 should be online soon and we should be back to 5 planes by the end of February. There is talk about adding 2 more planes but I will believe that when it happens. I'm wondering if the Gemini guys wish they stayed at Gemini. They were all very senior and thought going to another Stockbridge company would be better than staying at Gemini.
