I get a recall but furloughed again to "right-size".
Now I look at my old job coming back to CAL recalls only. Based in LAX?
But I got a job offer. Who am I to thank for my good fortune?
Just an 11 year roller coaster ride.
I know the feeling, I think the MEC is trying their best to get our jobs back and a great contract for anyone, but they are not having much luck.
A few more years for many of us will mean about 15 years with UAL and 12 years on furlough.
We did not get furloughed , we got "RIGHT SIZED" for the merger of the century.
