Is The Soutwest Furlough Rumor True???

[jtmpilot]

Heard from a buddy that Southwest might furlough due to growth shrinking??? What the hell is happening to this industry???????????????

Not true. Tell your buddy to say no to drugs. We have on going classes now and more in the next month. I appriciate your effort to have a thread go 15 pages, but I give this one 2. The boy with the Hilary picture will have some smart a$$ comments for this post.

Buddy said that is to get the retirees a number on the list before the furlough for medical options, so they can get COBRA until they are 65... hes a check airmen there and says it will be announced soon....

What the HECK!!!!!!!!!!!
SCREWED AGAIN BY THE OVER 60 CROWD!!!!!!!!! and they get a number on the list before us in the pool!!!!!!!!! YGBFSM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This does not even require a response. Tell the check airman to check himself into the crazy house.

Check Airman don't know crap. Half the time, they don't even know the correct procedures for the airplane.......

Are you stirring the pot or is there any credibility to the fact that a check airman even mentioned this?

This was answered for the idiot before. He is just trying to get a thread going. Like I told you before they already have health insurance so they dont need cobra. Shrinking growth is still growth.

I have more of a life than trying to get a thread going.... check airmens are usually in the know and im sure he wasnt trying to get me to post a rumor........

What do "on going classes now" and "more in the next month" have to do with anything?

don't airlines who have to furlough, usually do so while classes are either ongoing or scheduled?

your logic is tainted by your excessive kool-aid chugging.

keep on burying your head in the sand, and let me know how that works out for you.

Looks like the guy with the Hillary picture came though for us. Now I can start to laugh at the ridiculous crap that gets posted on this message board.

If you really think checkairmen are really in the the know, then wow! They make up rumor after rumor just for the fun of it to see how far it will go.

This coming from the pilot himself "who turned down SWA" THANK GOD HE DID!!! So not only does he turn down SWA but now his job is to trash the company that HIRED him??? Sorry dude I scream major BS...I have a feeling you are bitter about something...what could that possibly be??
Most (if not all) guys and gals I have ever met in this profession will always be grateful at the carriers that hired them even if they never went to work for them. I have and never will trash the legacy carrier that hired me and I walked away from. Obviously my friend you are a complete tool...burning bridges is not the way to make it in this profession. With your attitude and lack of class you might just "artificially" furlough yourself right out of any job.
