No news!!
Back in January the company recalled 33 of the 106 pilots on furlough status (out of 408 pilots on the seniority list).
The recall was to take place on different dates, from February 1st to April 15th (someone else posted the numbers and dates on a previous post).
To date, there are no anticipated recalls after the 33, as been explained by "those in the know."
Additionally, I think the news articles stated "Midwest Express Holdings" versus Midwest Express Airlines. The difference? Holdings encompasses Skyway (dba Astral Aviation). Skyway has been flying several routes the DC-9s previously flew, hence, less guys needed at Midwest Express.
If the company is going to back to 100% by June, and no anticipated recalls after April, who knows? Also, define 100%??
By the way, Skyway still has guys on the street too!!
Anyone else know more??
With respect to the assessment........ it was discussed on another post -- see General Discussion...I think it was labeled "Midwest Express Screw Their Own."
Unfortunately it is true; the assessment was voted down by a 2/3 vote against assisting the furloughees with COBRA benefits.
