Source is very reliable and unfortunately I have relayed good information so far. I'm not happy of the info. I too have been affected.
CRJ, the training dates will be out this week for the downgrades. I did ask of the furlough list and the answer I recieved was not until the numbers and dates of completion on training are evaulated. Could be this week or not till bid packets come for Jan. Remember there is a COLA also in JAN. Sorry this didn't help but I do keep in contact so when I hear something I will let you know, unless it gets posted first obviously.
I did get a clarification on the 80 aircraft operation somewhat, and the fact is we are almost there right now. We have many aircraft that are sitting and may be used for parts, being returned, mx, spares..etc. Those are not included in the "active" planes accounted for the number of block hours we have. Rough guessing is we are ten aircraft fat right now, and there is the next round of displacements and furloughs possibly in first quarter.

I used to be in law enforcement and left for this B.S... I really miss it. If you get the job, I think you will enjoy it. I enjoyed it, but I left for the "big money and status" of being an airline pilot. Wow, I should have been a guidance counselor. Local P.D. may not be your final stop, but it could lead to other great jobs within the field.(possibly flying) Good luck to you.

I'm looking forward to it too. Not sure what I'm going to do afterwards. I do plan on a few weeks of vacation time depending on what unemployment gets me. I have my CDL so, I'm looking at some bus/limo driving jobs around my area just for something to do. I too really want to know my furlough date. I've got some trips planned already and I can't book them until I know exactly when I'm outa here!

Bendoraitis’s first week at Comair as President:
On Monday, Comair President Bendoraitis calls up Mr. Anderson in Atlanta and says, "Yo Rich! Come up to CVG and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started."
Mr. Anderson asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
Bendoraitis says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster."
Mr. Anderson gets on the next Delta flight to CVG to help with the puzzle.
Bendoraitis lets him in the GO and shows him where he has the puzzle spread out all over the conference room table.
Mr. Anderson studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to Bendoraitis and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster."
Anderson takes his hand and says, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of coffee, and then," he said with a deep sigh,..................
(scroll down)
"Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box."
That was my attempt at a lame joke...

nice joke.
here's my attempt at a joke
Barrack Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey were flying on Obama's Private plane. Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, 'you know, I Could throw a $1,000 bill out
of the window right now and make somebody very happy, Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy. Michelle added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the Window and make a hundred people very happy.' Hearing their exchange the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, 'Such big-shots back there.' I could throw all of their asses out ofthe window and make 56 Million people very happy.'
you can substitute any name in there to suit comair
