Next Pinnacle realignment.

[i fly boxes]

people always get upset when the company says something is going to come out on a certain day and then it doesnt come out. I am not one that generally gets upset by this because i expect it. Having said that, I wish the company would not say "we are putting something out on this day" because it usually doesnt work out and then people get upset

In what sense? Net CAs negative or positive? We got a whole lotta Saab Captains/FOs to find new jobs for. Jet jobs, I mean.

I am simply talking about number of pilots involved. It could be good or bad, just a huge number of position movements are known.

Well, I could have told you that. -21 CA MEM. -29 CA LGA. -40 or so MSP. -35 or so DTW. Repeat roughly same numbers for FOs. That is a "huge number of position movements known."

Higney...shouldn't you be testing PBS instead of worrying about 11-09?

I am doing both.

Big cuts, but 73 CA spots more than currently. :/

I counted 83.. 185 gained. 102 lost.

Your right 83.

 

[Flyer1015]

I count 83 as well.

+140 RJ Captain

+34 Q Captain

-102 Saab Mesaba , but + 11 Saab Colgan = - 91 net Saab Captain

 

[Flyer1015]

So does this mean our staffing requirement, from now until end of May 2012 only needs 83 more Captains, net?


Is this correct?

I doubt attrition is factored in. How could they for see that?

 

[Flyprdu]

Well, the million dollar question is... will this save the Pinnacle downgrades?

Inquiring minds want to know! (Er well, at least 10 minds.)

This will give us about 6.7 crews per plane.

That sounds like they are doing this with the expectation of attrition too.... I.E. many of us could quit across the board without any more upgrades/adjustments.

It will depend on where the more senior displaced guys choose to go. Looks like 40 extra positions in the -200 for DTW and 32 in JFK. If you were displaced from DTW, you'd better not have 40 displaced guys senior to you that want that seat. Looks like there is a wide range of seniority occupying the left seat of the Saab. This should be interesting.

 

[Cptn2b]

It should save me = super senority

 

[i fly boxes]

with the q 400 upgrades, should this fill the colgan quota as well, paving the way for everyone to upgrade when the 60 new ones get here over the next two years!

I hear PNCL displaced pilots out of MSP not too long ago. Anyone roughly know the numbers on those? CA & FO. Thanks.

50 crews out of MEM (50 Cap + 50 Fo = 100 pilots) and 25 crews (25 Cap + 25 Fo = 50) out of MSP. Total 150.
