OH YEAH..... this comes almost two months after I've been furloughed!! Thanks for lookin out for your fellow pilots. I'm wondering if they can take food stamps as payment. Just thought that this was too good not to share with everyone.
Don't feel bad. We had one guy get a bill after he had been retired for seven years, along with a threat to put him in bad standing.
Another one got a bill after he had been gone for three years. This time his widow got it.
Both had been in good standing and both had gotten happy letters when they retired....
They're looking for any money they can get.
