Is the sun setting at GLA? part 2

[meatwallet]

With new-hire classes continuing monthly, a sh!tty 10Q, and less lines/no SAF starting next month, are furloughs looming on the horizon?

What is the status on upgrades? Other than the EMB FO, rumor is no upgrades for the next three months. Hard to believe considering the number of people jumping ship...

do they require a training bond or contract to be signed? Not that I'm considering ever working there, just curious.

Whats up dogg?

Yeah..they have a 15 month, $7500 training contract.

Glad I didnt stick around that place more than a few weeks.

What happen to SAF? Is GLA furloughing (again)?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I didn't know SAF was out for sure. I thought it was a threat to get united to give us more money

The worst news this week; the Chairman of the EXCO has given his 2 weeks notice. This represents the loss of a true asset to the pilot group, who knows how long it will be until his shoes are filled.

Posted in the release room on 9/12/05: Disgruntled FO's: Tired of being treated like crap? Skywest now pays for training! Along with the name and phone number of a lawyer to "work" on the training contract. With Frontier hiring, it's gonna be a rough fall/early winter. The juniorman season begins afresh.

This year's Harvard MBA revelation, "we'll return a bunch of aircraft and we will be whisked into profitability." Sidebar: If your contract permits continuous duty overnights, but limits them to two legs total, be thankful. Due to a cancellation one lucky pilot flew seven legs in one night this week. Not cool.

The word is that there is supposed to be another meeting in DC at the end of the month. Has anyone heard anything about that?

It just keeps on piling up deeper and deeper around here.

I got the impression the company didn't feel as though there was anything to meet about. The September 8th letter on the website www.ibt747.org doesn't look hopeful.
