Hot new rumor going off @ Hawaiian that we're gonna buy them. Anyone else hearing anything? I'd think we'd get ALASKA 1ST.

Baja.

Yeah, we'll probably get Alaska first. We'll go ugly early. That chick on the tail of Hawaiian is too hot for us. Maybe we can get her liquored up so that we look better.

Now this is where it gets interesting..... She was contacted by her CP and asked/advised to remain on the ER since Delta had invested "all the money and time" getting her qualified! That seems pretty low to have a CP lean on someone because they were displaced, qualified on a different aircraft but now wish to return to displaced position.

Anyone heard of this happening before?

So when DAL furloughed me and over 1100 other guys and gals (while ASA and COMAIR were hiring as quick as they could) I guess all we had to do was say "Gee I wouldn't mind being furloughed but I invested a lot of time and money in my career - so I would prefer to remain employed."

What a joke - I hope she laughed her ass off!

Oh wait, thats right - we are supposed to forget that DAL screwed us and be one happy family now.

I remember thinking after my first of 5 furloughs: "Wait a minute...I thought you said I was family!"

Even back in 1979, managements were using that "family thing" as they saw fit. I sure remember a mother-in-law that I would have furloughed in a heartbeat!

I hope this helps. Good luck.



PLEASE. From experience twice last year (Hilton Airport PBI and SLC Marriott-Residence Inn) do the above and ...

CALL the county health department and report it.

If it is not reported to them, it never happened and the evidence to an infestation will be covered up. At that point, good luck in getting reimbursement for any damages i.e. luggage, home exterminating, doctors bills, lost pay, etc.

Are you going to Manaus and taking a dip in the Amazon? If so, you also need to worry about the penis fish too.

$4K to exterminate them from your dwelling. Less if you are living in a van down by the river, or, in an LAXAPA lot .

Get the proof just in case. Call the County Health Department. This is one of the things I learned from working for ALPA doing hotel stuff.
