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.

You actually raise a very good point. If you don't want to live in the NYC area, then move to a place like Florida (near a city with a lot of JetBlue service to JFK). As most of you probably know, it can be hell trying to traverse the Appalachians in summer during SWAP conditions, and from a place like Florida you might have a chance to sneak in on occasion (when traffic from the West to the Northeast is shut down). And better yet, you'll have a better chance of making it home at the end of your trip!

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.

Just thinking of spending a few days in Orlando, Daytona or Key West.

Anybody know anything about an emergency going into PVD today??? Not sure of the flight number, I was doing an x-c with a student and heard something about them rolling the trucks as a precaution and closing the runway for a little while.

Makes sense but seeing how I have family and friends in ATL this is my best choice. And with over 30 flights a day to LGA and JFK with Delta and Airtran, I'm sure I can make it there. But I do agree about Delta.

ATL has far fewer weather events than JFK does. I've called in CO once, when I was on reserve and didn't care if I got there or not. Hell, I even made it up during the ATL snowstorm...

If it gets bad enough they will positive space people. They did it during the last JFK snowstorm because they needed people so badly.
