Misery loves Comany: PCL to park 15 CRJs

[PILOT2674]

Currently, there are four classes in different phases of new hire FO training.. (2 still in ground school, 2 are finishing up sim training). The question I have is why would 9E continue spending money on training if they'll eventually forlough, it makes no sence. one possible answer is with high attrition, they might not need to forlough anyone.
Any thoughts on that????

Dondk is right, if we lose 15 aircraft, I doubt we will furlough...we will finally be staffed correctly for the first time in 4-5 years.
As much I didn't want to see 70-90 seaters at 9E or XJ, I think we will see them early 2006. The question is...will it be the CRJ 700/900 or E-170/190's?

Why would XJ be getting 9E planes? I don't think they would ready to staff them by the end of October.

Rumor Alert

At CAE in YUL, PCL VP's were on the schedule for the EMB 170 sim this past week.

If they are going to get these planes, I hope they get them for Pinnacle, and not a second certificate

Mesabi if you don't mind I have to use your avatar. I think anyone at NWA, 9E or XJ outta use it as well. Red tailers gotta stick together.

Maybe they can figure out a way to furlough the GIA losers first.

That certainly was mature!

 

[SRMairlines]

There is no official word on furloughs yet. All we know is that 15 AC are being parked and that a reduction in pilots is a possibility but has not be determined yet.

And xjavro85 that is one avatar that I want for my flight case. Farkin' hilarious.

This makes no sense if this purely is a business decision why would 9e lose and mesaba gain. 9e must be a cheaper operator simply because of economy of scales.

This just proves all the back door crap going on at NWA. This serves them a couple of purposes: First scare the 9e guys into signing a bad contract, second recompensate mesaba for the loss of the avro and screwing them over with the sigining of the fraudulent ASA.

It all boils down to this if scope goes NWA wants a as$ load of 70-90 seaters only question is who gets them.

Sweet dude! now thats funny stuff

You guys are getting a little ahead of yourselves here. Mesaba isn't necessarily getting the 15 CRJs. It's possible that NWA just wants them parked temporarily. Also, nothing has been said so far about furloughs or displacements. All we know is that 15 RJs are getting parked for now. With our staffing levels so low, it's entirely possible that no one will get furloughed. In fact, it's possible that upgrades and new-hire classes will pick right back up as soon as the dust settles and management gets their bearings. Much more will be known tomorrow afternoon. No need to start getting worried and stressed out just yet.

100LL, I hate to break it to you little man, but I and many of the GIA guys sit in the top half of the seniority list. We aren't going anywhere. Thanks for playing though.

I can't believe the amount of stuff that has been flying around since the chapter 11 filing. Everything from 70 - 90 seaters, layoffs, mesa and chautauqua taking routes for NWA, avros being parked, avros with 85 seats, crjs parked, classes being cancelled. All of this is only after less than 2 weeks after the chapter 11. Who knows what is going to happen. Good luck to everyone involved. Hopefully the mainline guys can save their jobs too.

 

[flagshipper]

What is worse than working you arse off for 20k in miserable work conditions and shatty managament...... Being furloughed from a 20k a year job. I am praying for all yall who could be affected by this. I wish you the best. Every day I am more and more glad I left. Stick it out guys and don't take any crap from anybody

 

[Monster Buck]

and management gets their bearings.

Very politely said. I was thinking of a few words that might fit a little better. But the webmasters keep bleeping them out.
