I just felt perhaps these guys could benefit from this discussion if they do read it.

Wow now that makes my blood boil! I sure hope that feeling is only shared by a few pilots in our group!!! I hope they enjoy their extra money while I'm on the street fighting for any paycheck I can find.

Coehill - idiots that make comments like that would only benefit from a swift kick in the butt. Over half our seniority list have NO CLUE how bad things can be. Many are LUCKY that they've been able to ride the wave of growth and prosperity an an airline. Unfortunately, some of them can't appreciate how good they've got it and will be the bad apples in the bunch. Oh how I would have loved to be there.

Thats disgusting. I've heard the same thing from time to time, but that is different than picking up open time. As we start entering another "dark age" here they will probably change their tune.

Heads up to the MSP displacements coming to MEM... Oct. schedule has five flights per day MEM-MSP and MSP-MEM. Communting might become much more difficult.

That's been the story from DTW for quite a while now... All the more reason to take a layoff before displacement to MEM.
