So whats the latest rumor on the united flying, heard through the mill we were close to signing a 5 year deal.
Also heard from the MEC that comair is going to look for an additional 300 pilots to cut through voluntary and buy outs. Anyone hear that one yet?

Well, IF you are awarded these days off, they obviously can't make you work, unless they somehow JM you! Just don't answer your phone. Looks like they put everyone to work right up until they are furloughed. Just remember you have to hand in your company ID once furloughed, so you won't be able to jumpseat as they will take you out of CASS. Now, I'm not sure what benefits you guys are getting, but if you keep your Delta benefits, you can still non-rev to Europe obviously. Hopefully the Union will come through and get a better benefits package for you guys, I know it will be though for some guys without health insurance.

If we wind up getting rid of anywhere close to that number of people in addition to those on the furlough list, I wouldn't be suprised if they are just slowly(few months) closing the doors.
