My wife and kids have been using the Flight benefits with absolutely no problems. The NW flights have been the best.

Don't know what to think of Mesa/Republic but that may turn out to be quite creative resulting in Mesa being around for another 50 years.

Can't leave the industry... Dad was with the old Frontier, Older bro with SWA, younger bro with USAir... me with multiple airlines since '86... It may sound sad, but I don't want to work anywhere else but 121.

 

Hey Auto what's new?.
I do remember the conversation about your friend and his soon to be ex-wife. I'm going to withold comment 'cause it's going to be bitter and impartial. With the said, I hope she rots in hell. Anyhow, have not done any non-rev traveling since the furlough. The 2 times I have traveled have been on rev tickets. Hell, I haven't even paid the $50 non-rev fee due in may. In other words, I'm not active. Figured if I need to go some where in a pinch, I'll pay it then.
What are you doing for work?. I'm still bartending, but this time for a brand new luxury hotel here in town. A good friend of mine (and my accountant) is married to this lady who happens to be a Sr VP is this very large chain of hotels. She's decided to help me out and walk my resume into their flight dept. We'll see what happens there.
Time for me to go now, the couch seems lonely and I have a newspaper to read.

 

I've been using my flight bennies a lot since I got my new gig; I have not had any problems with them. I've been getting first class on 90% of my flight.

I do not know what to think about Mesa/Republic. I got a bad feeling that Delta will contract Republic to fly 100 seat airplanes for them. The reason why I think that is because they have not said or done anything to stop them from buying frontier or Midwest. I hope I'm wrong.

I can't leave this industry because it's like a drug once you try it you want more. I think I am the few who is willing to go back to Comair when the recall starts (if ever).

 

"I can't leave this industry because it's like a drug once you try it you want more. I think I am the few who is willing to go back to Comair when the recall starts (if ever). "

I am on the furlough list too and I fully expect it to happen come Jan. I am looking forward to a break from JF'nK. It is sad to think you are willing to go back to a **** job at OH at JFK. Geeeze just thinking about that makes me want to put a gun to my head. LOL Since the Aviation Safety bill has been passed and will be put on the POTUS'S desk maybe that combined with the 65 rule might turn this industry around in three years. I hope so because it is garbage now. This is the worst job I have ever had.

 

FA rumor so take it with a grain of salt.
Comair is calling furloughed FA’s to see how many would come back if recalled.
Comair is hiring FA trainers “Email on epic to hire part time trainers”.
Comair might hire FA’s to put in a hiring pool.
The Reason for that:
Closing CVG as a base and expecting a lot of FA’s to quit.
Any truth to this rumor?

 

Part time trainers are probably for recurrent. The rest sounds like BS. One could only hope on the quitting part though

 

I believe it.

 

I’m using my travel benefits as I type, thanks to the free Delta WiFi.

 

How do you get free WiFi?

 

think only selected flights or aircraft have it currently on delta.
