How many left on furlough?

Does this mean there will be no recalls for March?

Have the slots already been filled for the Bid 07-02(FEB)?

I think they got a little backed up. The last recalls will have class dates in Feb. I think we will see recalls in March, but they will be for an April effective date.

They are still working on filling the 07-02 bid. It may be a while before we know who actually accepted the positions....

Just spoke with Charmane and she said no recalls for march. Will not have to send out anymore letters to fill bid 07-02. Went down to seniority number 3570.

Hopefully this delay is due to training back-up and not due to the proposed merger and the anticipated large job cuts!

How far is 3570 from the big gap and the 99 newhires?

 

[Bubba Dog]

Seniority # 3873 starts the 99 hires.

Also to clarify on earlier post,sent out letter's of intent to 3570 and will not have to send anymore for bid 07-02 according to Charmane.

Hurry Back You Guys....

AWA just cut back to two Airbus instructors and told them not to expect any long course training(initials, or upgrades) for a year or so. Union spin is that this is due to the "merger" with Delta.


Beware, this is EXACTLY the same thing that happened when Wolf tried to buy UAL. Everything at AAA stopped and no one had another plan in case things fell through. It appears to my uneducated eyes that Parker is doing the same thing. Kind of hard to believe but airline management is airline management. They all screw up in the same ways.

Very good point ...

If the Delta merger goes thru, (Which I doubt, btw) they said there will be a reduction of 10%. This could result in a substantial furlough, again. (800+)

Very risky going back right now, unless one does not have another gig.
