First let me apologize to you if it seemed as if I was bashing your post. My rant had nothing to do with you personally and I am sure that was the information you were told. My problem is that was the information you were told. I was bashing the information rather than you or your post. It sounds about as promising as the half CR9 we are supposed to receive in 2010. But leave it to us pilots to get all excited about that one!!! Maybe because of that reason they won't furlough.
Anyway, whether it be from ALPA or Comair, it seems as if we are being strung along with a bunch of false information. It's just plain stupid.
As I put it to a fella I was flying with the other day. I feel as if I am in Vegas, plugging in quarters and cranking a handle. It's like this, the machine gives us enough back to keep going for a while, enough to keep plugging, but never enough to win. BUT, ya never know, that next pull might result in a jackpot so instead of getting up we keep going, afraid that the next guy that sits down here might spend a quarter and win a million. That's the mindset the company wants us to have and we have all fell victim to it.
