I think it would mean a lot to the affected pilots that there fellow "Acey" pilots are willing to help them through the tough times! Lets bring some professionalism back to our job and help some of our own!
I'M IN!
Thanks for the suggestion - we will also work with the company to see if we can't offer other options like payroll deduct or cashing in and donating extra vacation days.
trackpilot - sorry to hear you're on the street. Unemployment is a pitiful sum and you deserve more support. I think Georgia provides less than $600 a month for 1st year FO. Hard to survive off of that!
