To all NJA furloughs planning on returning:
Keep the faith guys and gals. The tide is turning.
Just this week, two more pilots announced openly on the boards they are leaving for other employment, and another announced his retirement.
In my fleet this week, one senior PIC retired and one sub-300 seniority PIC resigned for another job. Three more senior PIC's will retire before March and two junior PIC's are accepting airline recall before spring.
And those are just the ones I KNOW about. Resumes are flying and the number of job postings for airline, charter, and corporate are rising steadily. I expect attrition this year to be much higher than last.
The company will be VERY reluctant to recall prior to a new contract because it portrays weakness during negotiations and eliminates a bargaining chip. Nevertheless, I think this year's attrition might leave them with no choice.
Hang in there. We'll have RED lanyards waiting for you.
