I thought it was a company bluff to get a cheap contract out of us.

Sorry to those 45 that got it, hang in there

It certainly is a thankless career isn't it?

If the number is only 45, the good news it could be worse really. 70-80 was the number floating around a month ago. We all knew this was going to happen so it isn't really a huge surprise.

Here we go again. I was one of those furloughed, and they called to tell me right after one of the flight managers finished swearing to me that they were not going to. Oh well, who's hiring? I heard a lot going around about how ALPA thought management had learned it's lesson after the last furlough...

The 70 went down to 45 after ALPA was able to get 20 voluntary furloughs to those willing. I heard this from our Onion MEC. Could there be a few more coming down the wire? How's our US Air flying?
