P.S.S. I'm sure we will find out soon from the union and Comair but I'm just trying to make plans if anyone already commuting from there knows for sure!

(I know you're furloughed and by no means disrespect but commuting sucks a$$.)

I've used the commuter clause a number of times and never had a problem. Some things to remember
- Call sked to let them know that you may be using the commuter clause (after your plan 'a' flight goes bad).
- keep you seat requests. I've never been asked for them, but this gives some peace of mind.
- the company knows that you want to get there, because if you don't get there, you don't get paid.
- be nice to sked. They are in the same boat we are, understaffed and stretched thin.

I don't have my senioty list handy, but how far back into the list will they go when they furlough another 150 the first of September?
I feel horrible for the guys who are breaking their lease/selling house in CVG just to go to NY, only to get furloughed 3 months later.
What a mess this place is.

But if they did furlough another 150 it would take it to 04/11/05.

As far as I know, the hotels near the airport (a Hyatt, Holiday Inn Express, and a Reinassance??) still offer the OH crew/employee discount.
Let me know if you need any other info.
