To show our appreciate and to welcome you back with open arms we would like to offer you a Christmas Ham this year. Please include a $25 check for your ham.

We look forward to seeing you back on reserve... err... on the line soon and camping out in the JFK crew room.

Sincerely,
Director of Ops.

 

Nice haha. Though I would have more respect for the company if the letters actually were written that way.

 

It is both. Coincidental because of the date, but also ironic because the timing.

 

Coincidentally ironic.

 

Just wondering... Are there any involuntary furloughees NOT returning? And if so, what's your DOH?

 

43 letters went out all of the vols and all of the november guys. thats as far back as it going to go for now. dont expect any more for now (ALPA quote) if you listen to the recording of the furlough confrence call most of your questions will be answered or email MP

 

Hong Kong Citizens Are Living in Cages… Literally

Blah blah blah.. this looks like my JFK crashpad.

 

So what do you think will happen when all of the returning pilots choose the Jan class date? Will they force the jr pilots to take the Dec class?

 

yet to be seen. comair didnt offer the dates as a bid but rather "take your pick." ALPA says pick whats best for you and try to stick to your guns. its their mistake. if you want a link to the replay PM me or email MP the furlough chairman

 

My guess is, most November furloughs will come back, the majority of voluntaries not so much, since they have an option to bypass.
