When they come back, will they let them go to a base that their seniority can hold, or will they stick them wherever they want them indefinitely?

A few perks of being based in ACY:

1.) Wawa chicken philly cheese steaks are the bomb.

2.) You get a workout every time you walk from the train station to your hotel.

3.) Jumpseating is awesome! You always get a 2 leg commute from practically anywhere but Florida!

4.) The Emipre in is 26 bucks a night! The pool is up and running and the water is fine!

5.)Tropiano... Those guys are great! They like us so much they only charge us 13 dollars for a 5 minute ride!

6.) Sure I can hold a 17 day off line in ACY, but who needs that when you lose 2 days each rotation to the un-commutable schedule!

7.) Because flying with senior guys is awesome. They care about the reserves so much they pick up virtually ALL OT so they never have to fly!!! Thanks guys!

8.) 1 dollar employee coffee at Thrashers

9.) Who needs the Boardwalk when you have magical Absecon!

10.) Who says you can't live on Arbys?

11.) 3:30 am wake-up calls everyday are sweet. It makes your day long enough to fly 4 legs AND eat dinner before passing out at 8:00 pm.

I heard from a buddy there that they are going to downgrade 10 Capts and reduce ACY or possibly close it as a base?

Default benefits

Hi all, I am just seeking for ideas here, when we were furloughed we got our travel benefits within the company for ONE year after the day of FUR, now, my question is.... What are the chances to ask for another year of those benefits (if any ), and who should I contact for this matter???

Thank you guys/girls....
