No Reserve Pilots at USAIR East?

[MCDU]

Looks like there are no pilots avail on reserve on the Airbus. Good thing the weather is ok. Scheduleing keeps callng looking for pilots who want to work. Way to go with all the furloughs.

might have to bring a west crew in to cover the trip if needed.

good idea. That will help the furloughed pilots get their jobs back.

Well, MCDU, you are a mc******************************; but here's where I agree with you.
With folks on furlough east and west, I sure hope those trips get canceled.
But, I'm sure someone will pick 'em up.

Why does a furloughed UAL pilot care so much about Us Air East?

 

[PHXFLYR]

His honey flies there. i think he's a Delta pilot if you can believe it.

Only one reserve for 12/15/08 for the E190 as well although there is a rumor flying around CLT that some folks have received a letter rescinding there furlough notice. I have my 02/04/09 out the door date and no such letter in my mailbox so take it for what it is worth. A rumor.

 

[LaGarbage Man]

Disregard my previous post. Just got off the phone with the furlough commitee chairman and he shot it right down. Sorry guy/gals just a rumor.

 

[JAB31]

Is there any more furloughs planned after Feb? I know there is a January 4th and February 4th furlough group, and was told that would be it....but I am sure I am wrong.

 

[LaGarbage Man]

I did not ask him that question but he did mention furloughs thru April. No numbers were given and I believe that the Feb. 4th group is substantial, it should be pretty cose to finishing off what some of us are calling the third list. We were discussing the union supplied health care plans and April was mentioned as the month were they might be able to get an idea as to how many folks are going to take them up on the medical coverage. When they know the total number they will be better able to detemine the percentage that they can afford to pay for.

Mean while the rest of us go with out health insurance...

HA HA HA HA HA! That's awesome!!! One reserve! I got my January letter about 6 weeks prior to furlough date. So for Feb, it's probably showing up just in time for your stocking stuffer...

I was lucky to find a good flying job and took a Dec LOA to start it. Certainly not laughing at the furloughs, but I hope USair screws themselves and cancels trips due to lack of staffing. That's the part I find amusing. I truly wish you all the best! I'm hoping this job works out and I don't look back......

Happy festivus!

Ahh that refreshed my memory from the ALPA National Board.

 

[JAB31]

Looks like its happening again, apparently there has been a lack of 190 reserve FO's in CLT, none today I was told ...

 

[AppBrookie]

Only one FO reserve today CLT Airbus 320 series

 

[Dornier 335]

What's the total number of furloughs (east and west)?

 

[MCDU]

Almost 300. No one on reserve in PHL. Looks like SEA might cancel. Lack of crews.

[reepicheep]

Well that's just a darn shame.

 

[PHXFLYR]

Exactly. He was very anti-Nicolau when the list came out. Couldn't figure out why with him being a Delta guy until someone mentioned Mama was an eastie.If my hunch is correct,I wonder how he feels about his arbitrated award.


PHXFLYR

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

I don't think he's a DAL guy...he was going on and on about DOH and how that is the way to go in our arbitration. I don't think a single DAL pilot felt that way.

 

[PHXFLYR]

Sure hope your right, but I do remember a Delta pilot on the ALPA board who was quite vocal about the results of the Nicolau award shortly after it came out .Couldn't figure out why it put such a burr under his saddle until someone mentioned his wife was an eastie. Just got to wondering if it was our beloved "Marty"of FltInfo.com fame.

A word to the wise

Just a thought to those inclined to sick out your last month or two. Several years (2003 +/-) ago I visited a base C/P who recounted how he was contacted by a prospective employer of a recently furloughed Airways guy. The prospective pilot had a less than stellar dependability record. I don't think he got the job.

Do what ya want.

Not a sick out. The company cut too much.

Boy you must be that "CP" that fragged a fellow pilot trying to find a job. No where in this thead has anyone on either side said anything about a sick out. Get a clue.

PS

If your story is true the actions of the "CP " are highly illegal and worth a law suit.

Actually, only about 40 +/- furloughs on the east so far with another 50 or so in the next 6 months (supposedly). Currently, 118 on the west with 43 more by May 1st. LAS-JFK cancelled last night. Lack of crews.

 

[MCDU]

Many many open trips for the 22. No pilots are on reserve. Do not answer the phone.

Unfortunately DP doesn't run an airline... He runs a stock price and when gas prices where font page news the Wall Street buffoons loved to hear the word 'reduction' regardless if it would cause more harm than good

Yup. USAir is gonna shrink right back into the east coast airline that it was before the merger. It would be nice to finally find a management team that is actually interested in running an airline. USAir just keeps getting and keeping the same scumbags that screw it up time and time again.

I actually wonder why the east middle managers want to go back to being a one trick east coast pony. I mean really, didn't they learn from shutting down PSA that a major airline should actually service the WHOLE country.

Disclaimer. This is not an east bashing post. It is a management bashing post. Don't get your panties in a wad

 

[MCDU]

I think it would be a huge mistake to shrink the West. I wish that the West prospers and that you never have to experience what the East has. We are half the size we were 5 years ago.

I really feel bad for Midwest Express Pilots. I see parallels with USAIR back in 2004. Outsourcing, loss of pay, loss of jobs.

I think its so cute that your boyfriend allows you access to his schedule and that you're aware of his every (easthole) move.
BTW, how's the job search going after that UAL furlough?

Is this what you girls talk about at flight sim conventions or is it mostly talk about your "partners in action?":laugh:
What's even funnier is mcdoosh searches the internet looking for "gay" activities.
Thanks marty, you continue to show just why you've earned the name mcdoosh!:laugh:
