That airline is a flow through airline, right? I mean, it's not a place you would want to make a career of, financially speaking, so wouldn't a high attrition rate be expected? Is this part of managements business model, being cheap (less expensive) labor.

If that's the case, in today's pilot hiring frenzy (and I say that loosely, very loosely), I would have No Confidence in their managing ability.

I wouldn't really say that.
There are lots of REAL GREAT people here. The problem is that the people that hold the purse strings look at one thing and one thing only- the ratio of money coming in to the money going out. That's why you have stupid decisions like this latest furlough.
I don't think we are any cheaper than any other 747 operator out there. The money just isn't distributed the same.

I worked as a DC-8 FO for the Evergreen from April 1991 through July 1993

I was furloughed 3 times in that span. 2 of them were no notice phone calls from the CP. Seems nothing has changed at the Zoner.

The more things change, the more they stay the same!

Word has it we just had another F/O throw in the towel. That makes 3 F/O's & 1 F/E in 2 days....the exodus continues:bomb:

I know 2 of those FO's. One is off to 747's with red and gold stripes and the other is off to UAX (needs more time at home).

How many of the guys furloughed are coming back? I have heard not many... Atleast 3 are off to other 747 operators from what I hear and a couple corporate. Anybody got any solid numbrs? Just curious

Is that you B.S? I just finished indoc at net jets on friday, and thanked the lord everyday i was there that i didn't have to go back to evergreen. I will miss that old beast, but with no commute anymore and at least a 25k a year pay raise I think i will manage ok.

 

[b737jock]

J.F. yes it is me, good to hear that you are loving Net jets. I am putting an app. in there this week. I have Simuflite this week for the Hawker, so as soon as I am done with that I will be sending that in. B.S.

What up BS! Long time no see buddy. I'm glad the furlough didn't last to long. Get your stuff into Netjets as quick as you can. I just got the app. accepted email and there saying atleast 3-5 months after that for an interview? Anyway, good luck, call me if you want to get some beers! BJ

 

[dutch747]

All the same. Even though your furlough didn't last long, a furlough is a damn furlough. Hope greener pastures for all my brother en who were furloughed... I.E. New Job where furloughs are the exception, not the standard.

How long after you sent it in, did you get the email? I Overnighted mine a month ago and haven't heard a thing.
