From: Furloughed lookin' guy
Im not too sure about New York, but in a few states you can get a job as a Pharmacy Technician at Walgreens or CVS without having your certification. I've been doing it since I got furloughed in October and it's really not too bad. Good bennys and the pay is decent enough after you get your certification (that the company pays for). Plus you get to wear scrubs to work. Waaay more comfortable than the monkey suit...
Sidenote: I say the pay is decent enough when compared to Comair year 1 F.O. pay, so take that for what its worth, haha (bout $12/hr)

I miss it. Ill be back! It sucks not working. There is really no work out there for flying jobs. I've tried just about everything.
Question....With Mesa pulling out of JFK in a few months that leaves Comair as the only delta connection regional in JFK. Didn't Richard Anderson stress that he will not have just one regional operating all flights at a major hub. With that said, will there be someone else moving in as mesa moves out? You picking up what I'm laying down??? You smelling what I'm stepping in??? Or do I just have no idea what I'm talking about?

Does anybody have the tail numbers for the 6-8 CRJs that Comair is transfering to ASA and Pinnacle this week?

25 pilots took the early out. More than I thought. Hopefully enough that no more furloughs are needed. Mostly CA but a few FO's in there as well. Looks like 980 was the lowest number to take it and 141 the highest.
source: go to crew bid. Choose option under View all Standing Bids.
Anyone with a standing bid of EOP(early out program) or 55P (55 point program)

If we are talking recall, I have no desire to come back. As soon as I can sell my house in freaking KY I'm done here. Best of luck to you all though because I did have some of the best times in my life here. Its just even if they did recall why come back so another 2 years of reserve and a 10 year upgrade? Who knows though I guess we'll see. I have learned over the past 2 years to never say never.

The early out program closes at 5:00 P.M today. I think you will see a few people add to the list and you will also see a few pull out before 5:00.

New Memo on epic....10-12% increase in flying..with a HUGE shift from CVG to the NE (67% of all our flying will be in the NE) by May.
Also dropping of a base in the NE. I expect a BOS base to finally come to pass...as appx 10-12% of all our flying will be out of there.
Could be good news folks.
"Most importantly, the increase in block hours results in a significant reduction in
our need to furlough. Based on this schedule, I expect minimal flight attendant furloughs and do not
anticipate the need to furlough any pilots, at least through August."
