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.
Yea I have heard the same grumbling from people that are all heated because open time is blocked yet April's bid lines at LGA include lines that have 20 days off!!!
I doubt the LOA's will be very helpful, but we find out tomorrow how many have been granted...keeping my fingers crossed. I'm glad your gf was picked up by XJT, I haven't heard back from anyone yet...
...the choices we make huh?
