Here's the analogy: remember how first class seats and business class seats account for a large portion of profit for airlines but only count for fewer seats? Economy class has the most seats but is the least profitable segment. The same goes for... — read more

Airlines got billions. They cannot layoff or furlough employees because of this until Sep. 30, as far as I know. But it also limits executive compensation. Why did not Sabre take government assistance? Anyone knows?

What is difference? Do you get severance with a furlough?

Has anyone filed for pay reduction unemployment in DFW? I just filed today but not sure how much to expect back since it’s pretty vague via the website.

Anyone know if there will be another round of a volunteer program with severance before layoff? CEO already mentioned we would come out of this smaller so I know a layoff will occur soon. I think more will volunteer as the COVID-19 scare subsidies... — read more 

In past retrenchment exercises think 2018 and 2009 was there any general trend as to how it was decided who would get laid off? Seniority - last in first out, points based, or functions based? Etc.

So finally lucky people got their severance email today that 24 is the last day for them. Company will serve them full salary for 10 months who took this opportunity. There are people who worked as Directors, Sr.Directors for the company only few... — read more 

Does anyone know if Sabre will furlough instead of layoff?

Is Sabre borrowing vast sums of money or repositioning debt for Chapter 11? https://www.google.com/amp/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/sabre-corporation-announces-offerings-senior-120900120.html

"I can't answer that" or "I don't know." Translation: we're still crunching the numbers with airlines shrinking post COVID-19 by 30-40% you can bet Sabre will downsize an equilateral amount. Prepare for the mass purge of US employees for a 5:1... — read more 

For those of us who volunteered, this waiting is difficult. Can our managers give a hint like "I think you will be offered severance" or "I won't stand in your way"? Will anyone be notified before April 21, or does everyone have to wait and be... — read more 

In the US, can you file for unemployment pay to compensate for the pay reduction? I have a friend that claims this can be done if taken a pay cut. Any truth to this?

Does anyone know what was the take up of voluntary salary reduction outside the US?

If statistics hold, we may actually "lay off" about 550 people due to death by COVID-19. Not trying to be morbid, these are facts. HR or "People Team" don't get any ideas about moving us back to Tier 1 to up the numbers please.

If you are in DFW you've made your call. Did you stay in the game ? Did you get out ? If you stayed, The next 100 days should very interesting. I promise you this. Most of us aren't getting out alive. If you left, Was your severance long... — read more 

Would sabre be able to get any part of the bailout money created specifically for airlines and travel industry? If so they would not be able to layoff anyone till September correct?

This is really not related with the current crises. Someone in the HR decided to outsource the 5/10/15/20/25 year anniversary gift giving to an outside company. You can, literally, have to choose one of may "totally c-ap" stuff as your gift. None of... — read more

One of my friend told that he did not get the 15 percent payout in the current check. I can see that pay cut in my check though. What does it mean? Will these people are safer if Sabre will do lay-off in future.

For those in DFW, has anyone looked into whether or not taking the enhanced severance package leaves one eligible for unemployment benefits. I know Texas has some stringent qualification criteria for unemployment normally.

Confused, please help. Let's say an hourly wage employee makes 2K per week and has 10 years of continuous service. {Using round numbers for simplicity} What is the enhanced benefit severance amount ($) for that employee? TIA.

Capping all upper management salaries at 250K will probably save hundreds of US jobs and/or thousands of non-US jobs. If any manager/VP/SVP thinks he/she is worth more than that, he or she can find a job > 250K, and then Sabre can match it. But I... — read more 

I came to knowledge that people who volunteer for pay cut will be saved. All other will be considered for layoffs in first place if necessary.

Is this an option for Sabre? Do you think it would make a difference with impending layoffs?

What are your thoughts about the voluntary nature of salary cuts for all non US employees. If you were asked to give up a percentage of your salary would you do it?

Menke's base salary was $966,000 in 2019, but he was paid $8.8 million in total compensation, according to regulatory filings.

Don't lose hope folks. This is not end of the world! Pray and stay safe!!!

What happens if it drops to zero?

Waiting to see what "Enhanced" Severance really means, but I'm looking forward to jumping ship if its got decent financial incentives ! Thank You !

What would you double-down on, what would you eliminate

You just saw the options. Stay or TVUL or VS or VER. Which option do you prefer?
