They lost enough hours to let 100 go? I dont get it... Makes no sense to me.

hslightnin

no. PBS changed to staffing model. Congrats you yes voters

that's not true...my hire date is 11/07 and i have 162 pilots below me...just thought you'd like to know

ewrbasedpilot

Well, I guess that means the stock should go up a few cents...........

hslightnin

on the senority list. Rosters go to 9/07 for a 100
its not looking good for good chunk of the dash drivers

Has nothing to do with PBS.

See above. It has absolutely nothing to do with PBS. Don't try to blame this on us. In the fall, attrition was running approximately 4%. Given that number, no additional furloughs were needed, and I anticipated hiring again in the summer of 09. However, the number drastically dropped, and was NO WHERE NEAR 4%. I think we've had 4 people leave the company in the last month, and 2 were not pilots. I think a total of 12 people or so have left this year. That is the reason for the furloughs.

I too, initially thought this was due to PBS. But PBS is not even implemented yet, and after making some phone calls and finding out more info, I learned the above. If you have any questions, or want to know more info - please don't hesitate to PM me! I'm here to try to help. This is a very difficult time for all of us, and all I care about is the wellbeing of our folks.
