I applied for it on emaestro... I think it'll be hilarious if they approve it.... I have no badge or manuals or current charts for that matter... so there would be no way to fly the trip... but we'll have a good laugh at scheduling's expense.

nah

Revenge is mine!

Actually, if I could find someway to screw with people higher up the food chain I would rather do that. In the mean time scheduling will have to do.

I know a guy who posts on here that works at Compass now, he was furloughed during our BK and on his last day of work they were short and had him overnight and JM'ed him into his furlough...

So I wouldn't be shocked.

When did your family stop believing you? My family stopped believing me 2 years and 3 CEOs ago.

TD, I wish you paid my salary. Like many union positions, my time is gratis. I do it for my own satisfaction, and the hope that perhaps it benefits my fellow pilots.

So, do you still have a legit reason to gripe?

Funny you should that. I remember after about 1 year here I was on A1 working the holidays and telling my father how much it sucked! He is a pilot himself and worked at Comair over 10 years ago. I remember him saying "Don't worry because as you build seniority it will only get better!" Now just before my third Christmas here I'm back on short call reserve and of course working Christmas! Just thought it was funny how much this industry sucks.
