It is complete and total bull turd. The Union should not allow it. These pilots are going back to first year pay flying the same routes with the same name painted on the airplane. Just one more way to keep labor costs down. Isn't this why we are unionized? I thought the election of the new Union friendly administration was going to make it all better.

Again, I agree. Doesn't look like Prez. Prater's "Take it back" campaign is going too well. If anything what we all see is "Give it away!" Sucks.

No no, you've got it all wrong... it's "they're going to take it all away anyway so we should negotiate how they take it away" They helped us out with age 65... now they've negotiated a deal on taxing health care benefits....not that I think their deal is completely ridiculous... just don't like being told well it's GOING to happen when the house bill doesn't have it and the senate bill did... sounds like a 50/50 chance to me. Of course if you negotiate a deal, then they get to say "well look labor is getting behind it and they're going to be the ones hugely affected, why wouldn't we include it in the joint bill" Thanks ALPA I love being told to shut up and take it.

Rant over, take my soapbox please and return to the topic.

Hey everyone, thought I'd pass on my experience with AW. I'm furloughed NetJets and ex-Chautauqua, 4800tt 3500me. Had my resume walked in by a friend. Got called a couple weeks later for an interview, which was last week in ATW. Nice people overall, easy and short interview, about 15 minutes. During the interview they asked me if I'd resign my seniority at NetJets if offered the postion. I politely told them no and explained why in this volatile industry I am hesitant to give up future opportunities, etc. I got a rejection email today, so that must have been an issue for them. Oh well. I can't justify giving up recall rights at a job that pays 3-4x more per year to go work at a company who may or may not have a future past a few more years. Not to mention, in the company overview presentation, the phrase "we probably won't furlough again this fall" was used twice. How encouraging. Good luck to everyone else seeking a job there. They seem like nice people.

So guess I'm the guy singing "pants on the ground". just like me, they didn't know what to do with him either!.

You are better off. Don't sweat it.... you have a bright future at NJA (beyond 2015). The economy will improve and the outlook here is bleak. At any rate, good luck to you!

Well, that ain't a good way to attract new pilots and get them excited..lol

Easy for you to say, you have a job.

Does anyone know if the second round of interviews are for just today, or does it include wednesday also?.
