PITbull,
Are those 400 f/a's involuntary or voluntary for September? Are they the f/a's that took that VFLR1 and VFLR2?

Xo,
They are voluntary. Which translates to 400 less Involuntary furloughees being added to the "list".

I just wish they would not have to offer anything. It is so sad what is going on with U and the EMB-Division. I just love my job, but, I have been considering getting out lately. I am at the EMB-Division and I think I may just leave. This is just all too much for me. I am glad they wont be involuntary furloughing at U, but, in the same breathe it is sad that so many senior people want to leave. I am sure they truly dont..but, they are sick of it too.

Why yes light years
It has indeed!!!!! People don't like the fact they are voicing their opinion......... If this is nasty just wait as the days push forward .... The GLASS will wish he was half full instead of half empty w/ employees!!!!
Is the incentive package final? What are the details of it? I've seen several, not sure which one is the final one. Does anyone have a summary?
Teddy never wanted there to be a seperate AFA for the EMB Division, and she was probably right. It's mainline, and everyone at mainline should be very concerned about the large planes that will now be flown by contractors, the jobs it's about to lose, and the ones that will follow. I don't think most mainline F/As even know about any of this... They either don't even know what a 170 is (even though it's in thier manual), or they just think that "MidAtlantic" is some Express airline that alot of furloughed people happen to work for.

Pitbull....the day you are calm, truly calm will be in your casket.
No union.... is the way this country is heading with the latest split of the big boys unions which will only weaken and not strengthen their plight.
You fought a gallant fight uphill all the way and no one can nor be able to say otherwise. It's a shame Corporate America gives CEO's millions upon millions while taking away our pensions and benefits with the white house's approval by doing nothing about it.
We need a ton of Pitbulls to turn this insanity around but it seems they are yet to be born......

All carriers under the Republic Airways Holdings Umbrella are unionized, which means employees pay dues.

Thanks Curt. Haven't heard from you in a long while.
Will be joining you soon on the other side.
But you know me well, my fight will still continue for Labor, on the outside.
Trust, I'm not going anywhere but a larger arena with even a larger voice and a larger audience.
I have learned a life-time lesson these past 3 years in working for a managment that has the most disregard for employees I have ever witnessed in my adult working life.
When Corporate Lorenzo type raiders, and Corporate mongruls cease in attempting to destroy organized labor every which turn, is when I will find my solace. And my crystal ball says its not going to happen in my life time.
