So last time they announced furlough's, how long did it take for them to publish the actual date of furlough. If I remember correctly it was about a week or so. Why is there still no date???

How ironic I openly pick up sick time so I guess I am guilty of contributing to the problem! Wish I could get my furlough date but the Comair is hiding that one!

I was bored. Nigeria was getting to me so I thought I'd just throw that out there, to see if I could get the pot stirred.

I've already been on a perpetual ready reserve in JFK. Oddly enough I think Nigeria is better. My hotel room is much nicer than the crew room at JFK.

There was a 70 FO in ops a few weeks ago who was loudly bragging that he was getting over 170hrs credit for the month because of open time. I had to go to NY that day and saw him walk down to the plane. I wanted to find a way to not go. He seemed like a real tool to me.

Union won't do anything about it because the contract allows it. It may be legal, but it's just not right, to many of us.

perhaps you should call these guys out on the ALPA boards...

That's the equivalant of 133 pilots with 80-hour lines.

I'm glad when the Dick Anderson says domestic flying will be reduced by 10% it means CHQ, Freedom, SkyWest, and Pinnacle each lose 2% and Comair loses 20% to make up for it. We're Delta's go-to airline allright.

Mesaba just gets cut 10% because they're still new to the Delta ButtLove game.

And Anderson doesn't even know about Compass yet.

Why would he relax if Comair is taking most of the cuts in the DCI network? Are you and most of your fellow pilots losing your jobs? If not; then you are not feeling the pain.
