Hang in there fellas. Recent furlough guy here. Pax loads have been strong (flow sheets rarely fall below 100's - lots of 120+/130+). Positive vibes, so keep your heads up.
Lost arbitration on the 'door closed' vs 'wheels roll'. Wha...? Being responsible for people's lives and only getting paid per-diem. Doesn't make sense.
Jet A fuel prices are in the $1.70'ish/gal.
More and more MEL items on the releases lately. Received a bird with a DMI that was not on flow sheet so watch your **s.
