I'm with ya. You ever notice how when everyone got furloughed, all of the furloughed guys were complaining because they wanted the non-furloughed guys to fight for them more? Now they don't hesitate one bit to support pushing those very people that have been fighting for them out the door.

I am not speaking about every furloughed guy here, but there are a bunch of sell-outs in the room.

Wohoo!! I solved my Rubik's Cube after 2.5 hours of trying... Being furloughed has its advantages... well... not really.

New Guy 4 was in ops today talking one on one with those who had an interest in communicating with him (not me).

One of our guys asked him if he's still commuting from MSP to which he replied "Yes". He was then asked if he'd be willing to do so on S3C pass priviledges to which he replied he didn't have to worry about that because he's allowed to travel positive space.

Keep up the good work team...just don't notice that the president isn't part of that team.

I personally have no problem with him traveling positive space to and from work. Mr. B didn't go to Delta and mandate that our travel benefits be downgraded. Also, like all of us, I truly believe his hands are tied just like the rest of ours. Raise too much of a stink and Daddy "D" will find someone who won't.

If pilots were able to commute positive space, none of you can honestly tell me that you would refuse it if you learned that flight attendants who also commute were limited to S3C. I know I'm somewhat comparing apples to oranges, but you get the point.

Well I do believe ALPA is fighting to have the FA's included in crewpass. Perhaps it's also apples to oranges but you get the point.

I have no problem with his positive space either. I understand that. My comment was based on the a**hole way he answered the question. Much like a dismissive brush-off. Specially knowing full well that pass bennies is HUGE point of contention amongst the rank and file. Hope that's clear.

You just can't help but wonder why he hasn't moved. Could it be because he knows the future? Comair/Mesaba merge and base in MSP? Hmmmmmmm....
