To the furloughed guys/girls:
First- Anyone else see this? If this stimulus package ever gets passed in the next few centuries one of the perks is that the employer who laid you off will now have to pay 65% of your cobra.

Medicaid, COBRA Provisions Under Economic Stimulus Package Expand Health Care Coverage

This is a huge savings if you currently elect to have cobra and pay the 102% premiums.
Second- Anyone single with no kids and receiving food stamps? Trying to figure out if I'm eligible in the sunshine state.
Third- Ive been furloughed since October and feel like I have lost almost all knowledge of aviation. I cant afford to rent a airplane. Anyone else feel like this?
Fourth: GO METS!!

Guys, getting lots of response about my previous post.
Here's the deal, trying to get some time in a seminole or seneca for a little fun/work at some places I used to work at. Not sure yet what the rate is going to be. Let my check out lapse, so have to that first -my expense-. After that -and since i'm an MEI- i'll be able to bring/share the reduced cost. Anyone in the MCO are is more than welcome. Please PM and i'll let you know how to get in touch with me.
Btw, as off right now, can get a G1000 T182 -with A/P- for about $180 p/h. Trying to get it at lower rate.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up......
As you already know RHS (RH MESS) is going too be the new ground services company from Comair, Mesaba and Compass. I asked one manager what he thought about that. Aside from the usaul yadda yadda yadda, we got on the subject of the pilots and flight attendants.
he said......
(I guess you all's contract is coming up soon.) EXPECT Comair /Delta to offer you guys a contract that THEY consider to be fair or has it put it in line with other DCI carriers. He said that the PILOT & F/A COST ARE STILL TOO HIGH. This offer will be a take it or leave it type deal. If you decline as they expect you to, Comair will be FURLOUGHED out of existence. Looks like anyone who had the preminition as to why BENDO was truly here, there you go.
The manager that told me this was ****ed, he was a Manager in C/S, and was told he would have to reapply for his job, except Northwest wants thier people in his department and more than likely he would not be offered his position back - that's about 98% of the managers. If anyone cares and like you/I really can, I would suggest moving on.

I was awarded a line for this month that carries in to next month. The last trip of Feb ends on March 1st around 8:00 in the morning. Can the company now award my reserve windows for March to include adding a reserve window on March 1st in addition to the end of my trip? I was awarded LC1 the entire month and I am off on the second. Basically gave me then end of my trip that was awarded this month + LC1 on March 1st. Does that fall under double DSL or is that legal?

So you're not on reserve until March 2nd, and since you're off that day you'll finish your C/I trip and be done until the 3rd.
If it was any other month, I think that would be a double DSL and thus illegal. Not sure though.
