SkyWest furlough?

[Stifler's Mom]

Was that at STL? Bad deal for all.

I was referring to Oct of '01. CHQ dumped the Saabs on Shuttle America and rather than furlough in seniority they fired 125 Saab pilots that were on probation.

What was the end result of those 125 pilots? Did they ever get their places back?

And I dont think that we even go there anymore.

Correct

some stayed at oringal shuttle while others came back to chq and the rest tried something else

Didn't furlough during 9/11. Times are bad but not that bad.

Rumor. For now.

But rumors are what make FI so great.

rumours and avatars like yours.

Not true!! EMB classes are running once a month with 14-16 newhires a class for the rest of the yesr. CRJ Newhire.. the 3/10 class was the last one until September then newhires every three weeks tell the year is done. EMB upgrade 8-16 every month the rest of the year. RJ upgrade 8-12 every three weeks starting back up in june. (THIS CAN AND WILL CHANGE... IT ALWAYS HAS) most likley for the better.

Not that it really matters, but there was no 3/10 CRJ class. I think the last one was 2/18.

The only airlines going into LNK are United (Skywest and Trans States) and Northwest (Pinnacle).

Sorry, maybe I should've been more specific. I thought there was no newhire CRJ class starting on 3/10. And this was only an assumption of mine based on the fact that they told me my 3/10 CRJ newhire class was cxld.

Was the class for transitions and/or upgrades only, I hope? (otherwise, I was flat-out lied to.)

10 upgrade, 6 off the EMB and 4 newhires.

Well, that sucks for me. I'm glad for the other new hires though. I wonder why they told me it was cxld? Probably just misinformation.

Thanks amcnd for the info. I guess I'll just keep adjusting my patience potentiometer.

Were the new hires on the BRO?

 

[bmpilot2003]

Why did you even start this dumb thread Skywest continues to lose almost 20 people a month, and hire into the bro most likely for that attrition.

It only took 8 posts to turn this into a Union debate. Kudos!

 

[pilotsh]

So really, no newhires getting hired directly into the CRJ? I thought OO was gonna start withdrawing the Bros beginning this spring?

If you do get hired, are they still giving a class date or going in a pool now?

What's the most junior Bro bases at this point? I don't mind flying the Bro, but commuting into some of those bases is gonna suck me thinks...

Actually it took 13... you need to have two sides to have a debate... unless of course you are a "master debater" (ie General Lee) imp:

1. The company will place you in the airframe they need people, right now its the Bro. Placement is based on previous experience too. They are but only 4 are leaving service this year i think. The schedule is based on the arrival of new Rjs to replace the bros.

2. You get put into a pool.

Will they furlough or will they just flat out fire? Nobody can tell... no union!!

I don't know. Should the guy who pooped all over the hallway and walls at the Candlewood been furloughed or fired?

Seriously, how would a union prevent furloughs?

The union itself wouldn't, but the Collective Bargaining Agreement the union brought about would.
