Just given my track record at UAL I'm assuming I'm furloughed for the third time for a few years...I know doom and gloom but that has been my experience as an early 2000 hire...I just asked my Dad, an old time Pan Am guy and my uncles, old time PSA guys...have they ever heard of one moron getting furloughed by the same airline three times? They had never heard of
a. someone like me dumb enough to keep coming back to get kicked in teeth every 5 or 6 years (that's from my Dad), or
b. any airline being that inept without going out of business.
Anybody ever hear of one airline furloughing three times for the same relative seniority group?
