I ended that week being told I would be furloughed, even though I wasnt. But i don't take anything for granite or marble... or even cheap wood.
Im as excited now about what I see going on here as I was back then. It's awesome. I can't believe I can hold ATL88A, have a good number below me in NYC on 88 and 717 and even have people below me on 320A in nyc. That's awesome. Good for those guys. Hope it never stops. Just like I hope greenslippalooza never stops either.
Fingers crossed till they're almost broken. But fwiw I'm staying right seat for years to come. Life is good.
Went from E-120 upgrade school one day to not knowing if I would have a job the next day. Ended up being the last class they didn't furlough. That was not a fun year for anyone anywhere really
Good times at Delta right now, hopefully it doesn't stop. You should go for NYC M88A so you can fly in and out of LGA this winter with a newhire......you gotta earn what Ed pays you somehow.
