Even after being spit on, shat on, and kicked in the teeth by our company and especially our owners, it says a lot that we can still show up to work and get the job done professionally.

Are we just supposed to sulk around and be miserable? Why not have a little celebration? For those that are furloughed, does that mean they are not allowed to recognize Thanksgiving and Christmas?

Going 14+ days is a good achievement, especially with the troubles we have been having. It means that, through the rough times that all of the departments are having (there are more people that are getting pay cuts/lay offs/etc than just pilots), we can still operate an airline.

Too bad the furloughed guys can't come in for a free meal when they need it most. Let's see if the furloughed guys get Ham certificates over the Holiday.

Hey fellas, just curious what attrition like at comair right now with the industry sucking so bad. Are there a lot of pilots looking for better jobs or getting out of aviation (probably the smarter move) or is the consensus that everyone is just gonna tough out this current slump? Sorry for asking but what can I say I'm bored and I love a good rumor/gossip

I think everyone is looking. Noone is leaving.

only about 5 a month. Mostly FO's. We had a little spike last month but mostly very junior FO's

thanks guys, I figured most people would stay put. not like there's much of a choice right now anyway. Unless you have a way out of aviation i guess

We have some new blood in crew scheduling! "Crew scheduling, Chirs speaking...hey Chris, this is FO DappemAV8 calling for my L1 window tomorrow....ok, let me take a look...ummmm, why are you calling again?....for my Long Call window that starts tomorrow....ah,ok..this is my FIRST day and I'm not really sure what I need to do, hold on......ok, nothing on your line, you're back on your window for tomorrow...."

yay! get ready! discover the possibilities!

Nice! I fully expect to receive a call on Nov. 6 for an assignment

i dont remember who made the comments about the ham cert. and i'm too lazy to look. next time i am in ops i will speak to becky and see if we can set something up where guys/gals can donate their ham certificate to you furloughed guys. i usually give mine to my folks to use cause i try to watch my diet, but it might help somebody out during the holidays a little. just a thought and i will run it by and see what they think.
