Mesaba To Furlough Over 100 Pilots

[XJdriver]

My understanding is they are all going but the ones that havent been sent yet are still having the engines swapped. There is some stuff on mymesaba about how they still have 30 engine swaps and have a team of mechanics swapping them as quick as they can. I saw one was leaving yesterday out of MSP at 8am.

Its not as easy as it looks!! They have to put back on original equitment match numbers ect.. ect... Things take time dont expect all 9 or 30 at once. keeping the rest of the fleet up is more important.

Does anyone have any idea on when the first furlough notice will be posted, or even the next volunter notice for that matter?

The first involuntary furlough notice was never posted they just axed the guys right out of class. The company then had a voluntary notice. The last involuntary furlough notice was posted on Friday for 119 pilots (as previously posted) with dates to be determined. Guessing sometime around first of Feb. In the notice the company said they were going to put out another voluntary notice but didn't specify when.
