And I was one of the lucky ones who didn't get furloughed.
LOL….I was hired at Mesaba in 2007 with a Flow to NW. I was told I would be a NW FO in 4 years. I was a regional FO for 5 years and upgraded and downgraded repeatedly through 2 bankruptcies. Our flow miraculously stopped 3 numbers bast our Mesaba MEC vice Chairman. Crazy how that worked. Take your age 65 and main line FO problems and pound sand! I’m not here to recover for you again. You all screwed us with age 65. I still plan to retire at 60 and not work anymore years for you.
