PSA recalling furloughs

[BrownStreak]

Just heard the news. 10 recalls April 20th, and more to follow. Possibly everyone back on property by the end of the year. Believe that when I see it, but at least it's good news for the first 10.

TK told us last week that we were still overstaffed in both seats.

Go figure.

BrownStreak - please change your avatar....it is very offensive to those of us with special needs children. Thank you.

I hope you guys do recall everyone, soon!

I think that's unfair. PSA could have kept their pilots like PDT and could have stayed as FAT but they didnt. These are not for the PDT loss. Just my 2 cents though.

Hey, this situation stinks to high heaven.

Turn the tables: If PSA lost all of their 700s, and we were still holding onto our planes- who would get the flying when the slack went "CLANG"?

Better yet, and back to the actual situation: Who would you RATHER take up our slack? My answer is the same group of pilots that went into BK with us- not some buy-in without a real vested interest in the health of USAirways.

I'd rather a trade of weal-and-woe occur between the wholly-owneds, vice a circling opportunist.

Im with you on that Sig, the flying that PDT loses over the next few months I would not want to see anybody aside from PSA take up.

I also think anyone who says that an increase in PSA flying has nothing to do with a reduction in the PDT fleet is smoking some pretty strong stuff.

In fact, I hope PSA gets everyone back on the job by years end, because I'll tell you right now that I wont vote for any substandard bull** to 'keep the remaining 7 leases'. F* that.

Yup. Max pay to the last day!

Look, its all a matter of bad timing. If PSA's leases had been up don't you think Parker would have parked them?

Our leases are up, no need to renew old a$$ planes that make money. Enter sarcasim

Its contract time, focus on that.


I for one am glad that PSA folks coming, I just hope both pilot groups will support each other this time rather then stumbling around trying to F' each other like with the RJ situation some years ago.

If PSA/PDT can keep a good open line of communication it might come to benefit both parties during contract neg.

Actually we have 74 on furlough and we are short staffed. I haven't not worked a reserve day in almost 3 months. If we didn't have people on furlough and were hiring and you furloughing then i could understand your sarcasm. But we are still 64 on the street. The reserve pilots need a break. We are being abused daily.

I think both MECs have this as a main emphasis with negotiations. I wish we both could join our company foums and discuss topics as W/Os. I wish PDT nothing but the best of luck. Hell remember how Parker wanted us to do 50% of the express flying.... Maybe one day that will happen.
