From the company, good news for those who might have been worried about furloughs to offset reduction in flying.
Today we will be opening a web ballot for Proffered Leaves of Absence (PLOA). We are offering PLOAs due to both the recently announced short-term reduction in planned summer flying driven by high fuel costs, and the overwhelmingly positive response to our flight attendant recalls which was greater than expected.
Also, many of you have expressed interest in a taking a longer term leave, so we are pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to you. We will be offering up to 300 PLOAs for a six-month block (184 days), May through October.
This PLOA does not affect the timing or number of recalls which have already been announced – that plan remains unchanged. Training for our recalled flight attendants continues and we will be welcoming many of them back to flying in April, June and July.
The PLOA web ballot opens on the Flight Service website Friday, March 11th at 1500CT, and will close two weeks later on Friday, March 25th at 1000CT.
