I'm really sorry, buddy. People picking up OT while we are furloughing ****es me off more than anything else in this industry. My long time girlfriend was one of our 20 that were furlough out of the schoolhouse (she is now at XJT).

I recently overheard one of our finest captains complaining about the recent lack of OT (a lot of it is blocked). He owed his recent ex-wife some $$ and needed the OT to help rectify this situation..so in order to fix his crappy situation, he was advocating immediate furloughs.

We truly are our own worst enemies. I hope the LOAs help avoid this mess for as long as possible.
