[strega7]

And yet PDX is solid red arrows for July. I've been doing EMB IOE since mid-feburary almost non-stop and July is no different. Who knows!

Last group of guys stayed at the Crystal Inn while in training. Normal for recurrent guys but kinda odd for new-hires.

It's a fine machine bro.

furlough next?

That's what I'm worried about! We'll see what shakes out after Monday's announcement.

furlough next?

"SkyWest never has and never will" so says our VP of flight ops. They worked through it at 9/11 and we will work through it now. They are offering time off no pay.

I tried to get off time without pay in both July and now in Aug and have been told no we are not offering it in ORD both times...

 

[scottdonley]

Is skywest still parking some 120's or did they decide to keep all of them?

 

[Turtlesfly]

"They are offering time off with no pay."

Yeah, 'cause that's TOTALLY DIFFERENT than a furlolugh.

If it's voluntary and you keep all of your benefits, then yea, it is. Time off without pay is on a day by day or trip by trip basis, and only if you ask for it.

Actually the real bus driver is a friend of mine who let another friend use his log in to try and dig up info... but nice work Andy- how are ya anyway?

Now that's trust. Confusing for me but trusting of the real Bus Driver.

Doin' finer 'n frog hair - thanks.

By the way, SKyWest has cancelled classes based on hotel issues before. The August show is an outdoor expo that eats up most of the rooms in the city.

Keep drinking the KoolAid....

Keeping them due to fuel price.

Hows that kool-aid? Time off without pay is what most consider a furlough. Let me guess, you get to keep your travel benefits so it is not a furlough. And when the airlines start cutting back the schedules your travel benefits will be worthless.
I am glad to be done with the regionals, some of you guys are clueless.

 

[ehaecker]

TOWP is purely voluntary and I believe is daily or weekly blocks. Not quite a furlough.

Maybe just a tad different.....TOWOP is strickly optional and you get to keep you benifits, even if dropping to zero hours.....and its day by day, not year by year. almost the same though..

The hotel thing is legit...I got an email telling us if we commute in for Sim in August we may have a hard time finding a hotel room...they wanted to do a noon session for all the SLC commuters so they won't have problems....

take care,
