i appreciate it. im not on furlough...i've been w/ comair for aprrox. 4 years. i feel bad for all you guys that got laid off. i was part of the first round a couple years ago and i feel your pain. i do read a ton of rumors on here, but over my past couple of years at this company i have realized that although a lot of them don't ever materialize...well some of them do. its the reason i like to read this forum. i didnt start reading it until our mec left and was replaced. i knew from that point on that a lot was going to change and i wanted to stay informed. thanks for all.

I FEEL CHEATED!!! I was all excited about going to my mailbox today and receiving my F.U.C. Kit. But no joy???
Anyway, speaking of spreading rumors, I heard from a Captain today that he heard from a Check Airman who works the sims who was told by his Saturday Morning Racquetball Chief Pilot buddy that we are supposed to receive 1/250 of a CRJ 900 in mid 2018. It's not official yet, but it's looking good guys! Supposedly it has the Horizon paint scheme and we will be operating it out of Yellowknife Yukon Territory for Air Canada's new startup airline!! Maybe the furloughs will avoid us with this great news!!
Anyway, I guess the Chief who started this rumor took it straight from the horses mouth as he was down at a mall in Tampa where he and J.S. were having their picture taken (together).

We have been beat up, kicked, spit on and had our teeth knocked out since I have been here. When you're down, there's no where to go but up, I suppose. I'm not usually this pollyanna about things.

(However small it may or may not be.)
Has anyone asked J.S. about the status on that yet? What did he say, if anything? I know its' hard to remain positive, I saw my old base manger just getting off a trip on the 70, he had tears in his eyes, taking that last walk to furloughville, I will NEVER forget that. I did my best to cheer him up, but kinda hard when your eyes are getting moist too.

Listen to the song that plays almost half way through following the quote "iFly is like the first girl that kissed me, then dumped me." What song will they be playing during our tribute video?
