I like how JS said that even though the chips are down for many of us, we need to dig deep and help out the Comair sponsored charity events...for those less fortunate than us.

He also seemed to get rather angry whenever a pilot talked about their feelings.

Word from JS: You need to change your attitudes. If you have a bad attitude about being furloughed, it's your fault for being upset.

Take the lemons and make lemonade!

DS was strangely silent, huh?

Yeah, I like it how he also got a anonymous negative question about morale and management failures and he automatically responded with "well this must have come from a pilot."

He just celebrated 40 years in the airline business and has only called in 6 times. Funny because I saw him commute up from Tampa to CVG last week on a monday. wasn't he supposed to be at work before 2:30???

BTW: I never saw his name listed on the standby list either. I wonder if he was hiding in crown room.

Someone must have talked to him about that. This week he and the Missus flew back from Tampa on Sunday afternoon.

I think he burned an S2 because he got to sit in first class.

I'll be returning to engineering, and making roughly $70,000 a year.

Wait a minute... no I won't, because I can't take a voluntary furlough.

I guess one of the junior guys will have to enjoy the time off in my place while I spend my fifth winter doing walkarounds in YUL and GRB.

You won't be doing any walkarounds in GRB since that station is now closed. YUL, however, is a very good possibility.

Director level and above fly positive space anytime anywhere for themselves and family. Its a perk of the job at Delta and is handed down to us.

Good to know. I'm sure any day now we'll get the Jepp update to pull GRB (and how many others... TOL, AZO, etc) out of our binders to save weight.

JS's attitude is getting pretty $hitty, almost like a Soaper attitude. Cut the BS say what is going on. These conference calls are pretty worthless, nothing good ever comes out of it and you pi$$ off even more people.
