Kinda sucks that they dont want to bring back anyone thats out of currency. example January 09 November 08 guys because they dont want to foot the bill. At least thats what I got from the conference call.

Completely random . . .

I got one of the usual ALPA letters in the mail today soliciting me to buy more insurance. Nothing particularly different about it, except this time the letter contained a single serving Maxwell House coffee bag.

The End.

Heard a Comair pilot interviewed today on NPR. This case it was about companies looking for pay cuts or in our case downgraded captains. They mentioned Comair downgraded 150 captains. Wish they had mentioned the 330 addition furloughs, but they didn't. Trying to find a link....

....and here it is:

No one cares unless it affects them.

Of course, they're figuring his salary based on 40 hours/week, because the article doesn't say otherwise.

Nice reporting.

Um, they only ran one quote from Justin, which means they cut 99% of what he said. Blame the reporter.

I'm not specifically talking to him... How about the 20 year captains I talk to 4 months after I was furloughed - Direct quote "Oh we are furloughing?"

Ya, that kills me... My last trip, told the CA it was my last because of getting furloughed... he said the same thing... but he was cool, let me fly all the legs.
