Dear Union,

My count shows 296 Furloughed pilots, not 297. Since the only thing you seem to be useful for, is whining about pass benefits (further ****ing off delta), writing very angry (UN style) letters to Comair saying how mad you are and sending 5 emails a week detailing these angry letters...I'd like you to update the last thing written in every email.

"remember, we have 296 pilots on furlough, that are never coming back...if you know anyone that is good with personal bankruptcy..so they can get rid of their debt..and maybe find a job..and buy a house one day..that'd be great"

Thanks!

-Forever Furloughed FO

I'm getting a little sick of hearing all the complaints about being bankrupt, unemployed, etc.

Yes, Comair did furlough nearly 300 of us (including me), but so did thousands of other companies around the world. So instead of sitting here on APC and wasting all your efforts on writting posts - why dont you pick up a job - ANY JOB. Since I was let go in October I've worked construction, web design on the side, now managing a pool, taking real estate classes and strating my MBA. The point is - take a job anywhere, many places are starting to hire. It may not be as glorious as an Airline Pilot - but hey, Your bills are paid, you have something to do, and you dont sit around APC complaining about how evil Comair is.

Personal Responsibility.

It's 1300 and we are out of reserves as usual. My trip has turned into ferrying an airplane up and down the east coast. No paperwork and no people! Could life be any better!

Im glad everyone can be as fortunate as you. This forum is like a grief community for some, allows people to vent frustration. There is certainly no need to post how you are tired of all the complaints.

Only 18 guys are still working because of the 65 change (I thought it would be more)

There should be less people on the list too... Isn't the company suppose to take you off the list if you get a job for another airline? Because they're not.

They don't have to take you off the list if you work for another airline. However, they are supposed to take you off of the seniority list if you resign.

I strongly recommend avoiding all Delta/NWA hubs if you plan on using the travel benefits...all other routes should be easy to hop on!
