Happy thanksgiving Waterskiers. I'm open to suggestions regarding the date for the furlough party...a number of venues has been suggested and were waiting on a final decision. I am thinking maybe 21 or 22. I would imagine any interested people will be in STL on those dates. Lemme know. Also, a buddy of mine just got out of jail and will attend for anyone interested in WaterSkier for life tattoos. not srs.

So anyone have any plans? Any specific regionals people are looking at? Compass/go jet I guess would be first with the pref hiring. 135? Or leaving the industry all together?

I hope everyone being furloughed has read the LOA regarding pref. hiring. Speaking strictly from an initial pay standpoint, there is no advantage in going to GoJet or Compass unless you're in your third year of longevity with TSA. See below:
"...((a "moving pilot") will carry forward fifty percent (50%) of his Trans States longevity for purposes of pay..."
"Such longevity, however, will be frozen until the pilot's actual longevity at the sister carrier reaches parity with the longevity carried forward from Trans States."
Example: a furloughed pilot with 23 months longevity is furloughed from TSA and goes to work for GoJet. He carries with him 11.5 months of longevity. However, he will not receive second year pay from GoJet until he has worked at GoJet for 12 months.
That being said, I know there are other advantages besides initial pay that some can come up with when deciding to go one of our "sister" carriers. Some people have been surpised when I've brought this up, so I just wanted to put it out there. I'm also interested to see if anyone thinks I'm reading this wrong.

The bold portion is a true statement all on it's own.
Fixed it for you too.
And the way you're reading it jives with the way I've interpreted it.

Yes, that's the way I read it as well. Unless you have over two years of longevity at TSA, there is no advantage to going to the sister carriers.

How about having a job lol They about to furlough a lot of us. Our sister companies are not going anywhere anytime soon, in fact they're growing. I'd get seniority now.

What the brahs are saying is that there is no benefit to using the pref hiring unless you have 24+ months of seniority at TSA.
Translated:
Dude who shows up to Compass day one with NO time in the TSH work camp
is no better off than
Dude who's got some street cred (but less than 24 months) with TSA
If you just want a job for the sake of having a job...GLA is hiring.
