Nwa Recalls

[nwaredtail]

they went thru 125 to get about 30.

 

[ExAF]

A Bunch

They are up to 250 to get 75. Don't know if they got the 75 from the 250 or if they will have to send out more PNRs/ONRs. Either way, not many coming back yet. I would bet if they had a decent paying job, they would defer until after the new year so as not to fly over the holidays and have a little more seniority when they do return (if they return at all).

Actually if the MEC gets its way I supposed at least half the work force would retire. I guess if they did dump that equity into the DC you might actually make more by retiring.

 

[Going2Baja]

I've heard that during the last furlough they had to include time on furlough for pay and senority to get the pilots to come back. Anyone here if they are talking about this this time around?

Baja.

For me BYPASS is the only way to go!!

Well, the one nice smidgen of protection left in the contract is the right to refuse non-seniority list seat support in the simulator.

I don't see the ATI's getting much stick time....

You will be given a one time 10% discount on a small coffee at starbucks for returning.

JAM-BRO, great news love to see those DC-9's flying. The last of the real man's airplanes where the pilot is actually connected to the airplane.

Hi!

What is the "T I T A N T I C"??????

The "Titantic" is the largest version of an insect that feeds off of the blood of mammals. It grows up to 6" in length, and can weigh up to 40 lbs. when filled with blood! If you wake up and find one attached to your body, cut off the body with a large knife, and remove the head with pliers. It WILL be painful!

Cliff WTF?

NWA pilots sold out when they created Compass. Give it a few years and a new threat, and they will roll again. Bottom line is that your FA's have more spine than your pilots.

The FA's are making less than half of what the lowest pilot is making. They can't survive on the offered salaries, it's not a matter of having more balls. The most junior pilot is making about $75,000.

 

[Workin'Stiff]

The most junior pilot is making about $75,000.

I'm not so sure about your numbers... I know, personally, that very senior FE's are making right around that number right now.

The ROPES don't count.

 

[Workin'Stiff]

The ROPES don't count.

I wasn't referring to them... There are still eligible pilots sitting in the FE seat...

$76/hr for the most junior DC9 FOs on the line flying 88 hr months = $80,256 + Per Diem. (approx $6000/yr)...

 

[tailhookah]

If I was recalled and not back filled for seniority for pay reasons I'll not probably come back... I just can't go back to first year pay AND take the chance that I'll get furloughed again. That precedent has been firmly set at NWA and if you think all will be rosey when you go back then you are fooling yourself. But for the back fill in seniority I'd consider going back and nothing short of that for me.

[mynameisjim]

What would motivate NWA to pay more than your already accrued longevity for recall? Why would they care if a furloughed guy is coming back, or if they are hiring off the streeet?

 

[SWA/FO]

Run! My friends run.

What he said.

At least 1 recall was to replace a 19 year Blue Book Airbus Captain who punched out at 50. He sat next to me all last week. Took a $60,000 pay cut even after the new contract but says he found his smile again.

NWA gave the pilots the additional $800 million in equity as an investment in it's own company. By giving this amount of money NWA will see more than $1 billion in additional savings. With that equity 50% of the pilot group will be able to retire and will shift the airline to an all junior payscale. One that no other airline can touch at NWA regional rates.
