Is it true: Airtran ti fire proby pilots

[bravodude]

Dude dont go posting that information. You are an embarASSment to SWA and SWAPA.

So i try and find out if its true but somehow thats bad taste. OK dude.

Bravod0uche, no probie has been terminated, and you can bet that none will be. Simply an idle threat. But just so you know, neither myself nor Lear70 would be affected by it if they did. I'm sure that eases your mind.

All i did was ask a question. you gave me an answer and thats all I wanted. You want to keep bashing me go right ahead. (all in all i'm glad no probi is going to be fired or anybody for that matter).

Perhaps you didn't mean any harm by it. If that's the case, my apologies. I took it as you taunting our junior pilots.

Bravo, He is an idiot.

Lear70 can't be affected because...he doesn't work at Critter.

Patience,,, arbitration is coming.

But then you wouldn't have anyone to sling mud at... classy.

What a pathetic company that threatens to fire probies.

True.

The game's afoot now. The NPA just sent out a blast email that the company has stated they will seek 180 furloughs. Funny, the number of probationary pilots is 183 effective Sept 1st.

Coincidence? I think not. Scare tactic? You betcha. Will they go through with it? Don't know. It's a game of "Let's see who blinks first".

Also seeking pay concessions of 10% from CA's, 8% from F/O's. The general consensus on the internal message boards, even from people I've never seen post before, is GFY.

Maybe the pilots are seeing the light of day that saving 1/10th of 1% of the total CASM isn't going to make or break the company... We can hope.

If they are going to provide the 60 day notice required by the WARN Act, they will have to furlough later than that.

If they are going to provide the 60 day notice required by the WARN Act, they will have to furlough later than that.

If memory serves, the WARN Act only comes into play if more than about 30% of an employee group will be affected. I don't believe it is applicable in this case.

I have no reason to taunt your junior pilots. I have quite a few friends there so I was just wondering if it was true or not. Thats all.
Getting fired is no laughing matter and I would never joke about that.

******************** I hope not...I thought only regionals try to do that. Thought "mainline" even at Airtran was supposed to be free of BS like that.
