One rivaled Delta’s Captain Hollywood for PA’s at zero-dark AM stating at the end, “you’re in good hands ladies and gentlemen...I’m a furloughed American Airlines pilot.”

Another had zero time as a part 121 captain.

Another told me (7 year FO at the time), “you know, all of you Eagle guys should be on the street. We should have all the seats, not just the left ones.” We had several hundred on the street at the time.

Rumor says there was a scuffle in Chicago in or near the crew lounge between a FB and Eagle pilot, but can’t remember the details.

Glad it’s over now. It was a lifetime ago....
