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.
 
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.
 
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.

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

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.
 
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
