What do you plan to do if you take the buyout/voluntary furlough?

Did I miss one of your postings?. What middle eastern gig?. Do tell.

I'm not exactly sure yet. What I am sure of though is that even in such hard economic times, I am willing to leave my full-time job to wait tables if I must. I feel like this company has dragged me down so far that I am stuck reading message boards like this one and it has really brought me down over the years. I love to fly, but I absolutely will not tolerate the way this company(and other airlines) treat their employees anymore.

OK, GM just offered a buyout to it's hourly/unionized employees. $25,000.00 vehicle voucher for a GM vehicle and $20,000.00 cash. Not bad.

I can't remember correctly, and my warped mind just may have made it up. Who knows?
Contract 3.L.1.c

ALPA gave up (or "waived") 1% for us to keep something else...

So when Comair announces 3% you get 2%.

Chrysler's buyout last fall was $75,000 cash plus a $25,000 new car voucher.

No flight bennies though.
