What I also find interesting is CAL's preference to have NO commuters, yet thinks everyone who was recently hired and BOUGHT a place up in the northeast is going to be so happy to sell in the worst housing market in decades and move to IAH. Yeah, right..........

More than a few of us were either DEN LAX HNL IAD or GSO in the past. Many moved from one closing base to avoid the commute, only to have that closed too. Maybe they'll just close EWR to teach us one final lesson.

From the looks of it, this downbid is going to cause a LOT of training events. Guess the airline must find that to be cheap. Thanks to the over 60 guys for hanging around and not planning for their retirement. Seems like this is one of the few careers where you seem to spend more time going backwards than forwards.................

Last year they continued hiring FAs as we scrambled to avoid sending "500" pilots to the street. We ended up tossing 147 pilots to the curb. Now here we are a year later and when this whole new furlough thing started to unfold it was made clear early on that "NO flight attendant furloughs" were going to occur. Now we have a system bid that chops EWR 737 and sends a majority of the leftovers to IAH. And what of the EWR FA's? Nothing.
This reaks of Status Quo violation.
Boneman, Have you personally actually inquired about that to Pierce?

And why is it the company throws us 18- and 19- month COLAs but the FAs get 4-, 5- and 9-month options?
