Hope you're joking. Have fun driving a VW beetle while they drive you're wages down to nothing. I have worked for a living before. I can do it again. Or....I can also go on active duty orders in the Air Force....Or...I can make money from investing...or....I can make money in rental houses....get the picture??? If we all are saving the money we make and have our money diversified so we'll have more power to stick it to them when needed.
Always somebody out there that thinks flying is the only thing on earth they could do.

Let me get this straight. They would furlough 200 guys to save $6,000,000 in a year ($30,000x200 people)?? Some of them have no medical hense, no cost. YGBFSM! This is the dumbest way to save money and the quickest way to have an employee group that doesn't give a **** about the company! We were hiring until March I think. Nice planning! Exactly why we should never give in to what these bastards want. Our jobs mean nothing to them.

You want to get really upset check out the NC's supposed openers. Larry and friends are laughing their collective asses off at that document.

Time to join the APA.

Where can you get a copy? We better not give up a damn thing. We should hold out for 5 years if we have to. Get the back pay and hit a homerun contract. Don't be in a hurry or settle for less than anything than FED, UPS, or SW has.

It's not worth reading. It is too generic and says nothing but "goals" that are non specific and vague. I hope we see something real before the TA.

I'm thrilled to hear the attitude of the "new blood" on campus. Let's hope the dumping on pilots meets some resistance for once.

I've had that attitude for over 20 years but it hasn't proved to be very contagious.

Not bloody likely. They "new blood" is too busy trying to figure out how to afford heath care for their families, and how to apply for food stamps.

Good job, senior CAL guys. I hope you get yours soon.
