No one gives a crap about the regionals. Call me when it affects carriers that pay more than janitor wages.

Bingo. I'd go fly for a regional again if it didn't mean getting abused like a Lifetime movie wife and paid more than a school bus driver.

Screw the regionals. They made their bed, lay in it....

i hope all the regionals fail, sends a good message to management.

 

[gunfyter]

I thinks its just a sign ... its just the beginning.

The only thing that will improve the regionals is when they are forced to pay more for pilots. And if they pay more ... its only good for the rest of us

So any truth to 6 a month for some time?

Also, only 2 out of 6 on the first round said yes?

I was told 1 of 6. And Harry Potter believes that 350-400 are ready to accept recall. Today.


I'm also hearing stories of pissed owners, RED flag flights, a fleet availability numbers that are scary low.


All second hand knowledge though.

Yesterday's info was 3 pilots accepted, 3 deferred, and they're sifting through 800 resumes for the Flight Attendant interviews.

I can only assume the 6 recalls per month notion is a bottleneck in the training pipeline.

Wondering when the company will anounce we recently received 10,000 resumes for pilot positions?!?! Let the propaganda fun begin.

They haven't waited to use that line. AFTER the furlough, I heard one of our feckless leaders say "You know, we do still have 8,000 resumes on file..." when somebody in a recurrent class expressed concern over the future of the company.

So, how many people do you think will leave airline jobs to return to Netjets? I met a few current JetBlue pilots who said they would consider it...

Obviously it depends on their situation and their particular airline.

I have heard only one confirmed accept and 3 confirmed deferrals out of the first 6. All are going to the Excel. Most of the JB people I have talked to are going to defer. A few would consider going back to NJ due to the commuting/basing issue mostly. I am still guessing 50 percent overall acceptance rate. The company has said nothing past the first recall of 6. I sure they have a longer term plan but they aren't telling anybody.
