I am hearing from folks 45 furloughs and 13 downgrades in April.
 
Here is some food for thought for the folks who think we are not going to close our doors. The company that I fly contract for is having serious maintenance issues with their soveriegn, so Cessna gave us initially a citationair jetcard last week. The director of maintenace in Wichita told us since Citationair would not be able to most likely supply us with the lift we need, that they would get us a jetcard with someone else. Not knowing I work for CA, I asked why they would not be able to supply lift? His exact words were "they are being shut down". The sad part is, everyone out there knows it, but our management does not have the class to tell us. It was a good job while it lasted. Atlas here I come.

I think he may be looking for a job himself. Management guys need to feed their families also.

Then he should help his fellow pilots out and look the other way. Those kind of actions can get you hurt. Like we aren't trying to feed our families too. A tool like Jeff just needs to find a new career in A$$ Kissing.
 
For all the award winning yellow tie dudes, an ACP has announced that he will be at the WIA conference looking for guys who called in sick during those days. Even though they've said to go to Plan B looks like they're interested more in Plan FU for the pilots. I'll pay $100 bucks cash to the guy who films himself telling the management A-hole to F himself.

If he has half a brain he will be there - with his resume in hand like everyone else. Just another "big fish" in a drying up pond.

?: Where did you hear that?

A: The internet.

Q: The internet?

A: Yea, they cant print anything on the internet that isnt true.

Q: Really? Where did you hear that?

A: The internet.

:laugh:

I'm calling BS on this one.
 
I hope for my former co-worker's sake you are right. I would sure as hell be actively looking elsewhere if I were in their shoes - not based based on a single internet posting but on the totality of what has happened at CA over the last year and continues to happen today.
 
How are they going to justify keeping FU with such a low pilot count? TF back to HPN full time? My, that could get a bit uncomfortable...:nuts:

A very nasty rumor, although one that brings sunshine into my darkened day, is that he is gone....
 
TF is leaving. He is going to Hoppajet. Before you ask C680. Source? TF himself. I bet he wishes he Had not given up his United number now.

My source was the Director of maint at Cessna in Wichita like i mentioned in my post. OH! He probably doesn't know anything though. The guys in 3 American lane will let you know the truth. HA! AT least i like your optimism.

Call BS all you want. He is in china now, 13 hour time difference let me now how that works for you. Lol. I know you meant a different BS but i could not resist.
 
Q. Will there be additional compensation for Day Eight?

A. There will be no additional compensation for Day Eight. (BBBWWWAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!)

Q. Will overtime still be available?

A. Yes, when there is an operational need and it will remain an available option. (Or we might just force you to do it . . .) Sidenote: I'm really looking forward to 9 on. Hey, gotta' do my part so the *ildo's get their bonuses!


Q. What is the benefit of adding a Day Eight to the current tour cycle?

A. Increased productivity without increased costs. (To make sure Phildo gets his bonus from Cessna.)
