SAAB,
Where in the RLA is it illegal?. No kidding, UPS spent enormous efforts to place similiar language in our CBA. They got it except when furloughs were announced. Please provide specific court cases,law etc. Because the Airborne Court case would suggest otherwise.

BTW, if you want compensation like a high powered wall street business exec, as we all desire, you do have to dress the part. Just like you did at your interview. But, no, that isn't the cause of our predicament, but walk and talk like a high school dropout does not engender credibility for our profession.

As of right now I haven't heard anything, and am still wondering what will happen. I assume I enter a pool, and hopefully hiring will pick up in the fall sometime. I still feel like I got kicked in the...

Anyone else in my shoes? I am very curious to see how many are in the pool and what anyone else knows. Please, keep the updates coming and again, thanks for the nice update LifeNtheFstlne.

I interviewed on 18 Mar and was called the next day and offered a spot in the pool. When I interviewed I was told they were going to continue to interview until they had 50 in the pool. I think I saw somewhere on a forum that the 18th was the first day people started entering the pool. I imagine you and the others in your shoes that had their classes canx are first in the pool and then everyone interviewed on the 18th and beyond. As I am writing this I now wonder if the classes that were canx will count towards the 50 or if the pool will be 50+?

HEY!!! I like that point! If "looking professional doesn't matter", why show up at the interview in a suit? Just show up "business casual".
Weird but, when I "dress up" in full dress, I actually feel more professional, and proud...

So is that why military pilots are seen in bars drinking in their flight suits? I've never understood that.

Not wearing a uniform with pride says a lot about one's character. I wasn't a big fan of my time at Trans States, but I wore the uniform just as proudly as I do now at SkyWest.

Don't let anybody take away that dignity.

The military should be able to drink in uniform, as should we...Unfortunately, John Q Public just can't handle the thought of us actually being real people...

Now getting in a drunken-brawl, however...

It's so when everybody gets drunk and the bar fight breaks out, you know who's on your team:)
