On the other hand, Failblazer told you 18 months ago that Comair was gone by the end of 2010 and all your planes are belong to ASA.

So it's just a matter of... who's story is more convincing?

My friend, it may not be a positive thing, but it stops the rash of negatives items we have been getting for a while. Attrition is a good thing as long as people are leaving to other venues (and we both know the large majority of those are doing so). First of all, I don't think there will be 35 furloughs (if there are any at all). Secondly, if it happens, it'll be late this year. I'm sure the new contract will be done by then, which at that point all bets are off.

We did go from 400 (+/-) additional furloughs in the 2010 forecast down to just 35, so we got that going for us.

Just got an invoice from ALPA for $75.00 four months after I quit. Apparently, they 'automatically' sign us up for inactive member status. I called and she said she would 'try to reverse the charges'. What a bunch of dopes

It's alpa, do you expect anything but that. As far as taking money, well I'll save the typing I think we all know where I was going to go with that.

Can anyone confirm, that for those who took the buyout, pass travel on Delta is now yield fare? TravelNet allows me to still create an itinerary for 'free'. I'm non-reving somewhere tomorrow and want to make sure that I won't be changed on the back end when I can just jumpseat instead.

Rumor has it that one of your senior guys (over 20 years) is leaving soon for WN. At least some of those few openings are getting filled by CA people!
