we are now overstaffed for the current plans (which could again change anytime) As of right now there have been no announcements as to what will happen because of this. Likely if no new flying comes along then there will probably be at least a realignment if not at least some furloughs, though they will also offer unpaid leaves before using furloughs, it just depends on what plane/base you are in right now. Looks as if we are more overstaffed on the FO side and probably could not have to downgrade anyone (other than maybe some of the Saab street captains who could be at risk of furlough...)
I asked around and it seems like we are a bit overstaffed, but like WMUSIGPI said it's mostly FO's. We have 1174 people or so on the seniority list and there are street captain between the 840ish to 950ish range I think.
To put the overall staffing numbers in perspective XJ will have 107 airframes and 1174 pilots. PCL will have 140 airframes and 1306 pilots and our management thinks we are way overstaffed.
It was just a few weeks ago someone from Mesaba was gloating about getting all those 900's. It's amazing how fast Delta whipsaws us against each other.
I wouldn't be suprised if they were awarded to someone else before this is said and done with!!!
Really?
I don't remember ANY gloating. But then again your post could be read in that light now, couldn't it?

So what's going to happen now at Mesaba with Delta taking away 10 of the 15 promised 900's?
Are you guys looking to furlough, displace or are you guys going to be ok? Did they already hire all the people for the 5 CRJ 900's?

It's my understanding that it's not about whipsawing.
It's my understanding that it's not about whipsawing. It's all about the bottom line. The flying recently awarded went to the lowest bidder with conditions that most regionals couldnt live with and walked away from the table. Maybe it's the desperate that's taking the flying and I'm not refering to the ASA award.
