Exactly!

You forgot the boat as well.

OD has been a huge help as well with the plane so I try to get him on the water from time to time.

We start painting her next week. Also the better half wants me to go to culinary school.....not to be a chef mind you, just to make sure I have dinner on the table for when she comes home. God its great to be a kept man!

No mention of fall schedule, hours or staffing during the recent Straight Talk. JB said no news to report to report on the subject this week, but he will have a better idea next week.
I do not believe the company does not know what are the staffing need are going to be in the fall. Are we operating on a month by month basis?

Not that I like to defend him...but its not even June. It isn't exactly summer yet and you're on them about the FALL schedule.

I do expect them to say a larger than normal fall reduction in block hours with about 100 more furloughs.

We must be a seasonal airline then. We gear up for the summer, spring, and holiday seasons, then when have to furlough during the slow months. That is not how you run a successful business. Maybe we should hire seasonal pilots that are willing to work during the busy season only.

You should auction off you seniority number to the highest bidder. Not that I think a recall will happen before the middle of next year if Comair does not shutdown by then.

If I counted the cost of a crash pad, transportation and all the money I spent on food while on the road, I make more money on unemployment than what I made at Comair on second year FO.
