As he looked over at me sitting at the next table, I shot him a really unwelcome dirty look. I think he got my drift.
It's guys like this that pick up open time, bid HI lines, do favors, etc... that cause problems. Why should Comair or any other airline recall when their pilots are pulling more than their share of the weight?! This kind of stuff just kills me...

So we'll have to rely on word of mouth. So give them a call if you hear of anyone picking up open time.

You should just say yes. Tell them you usually fly the 50 but they called you to fly this 70/90 trip and thought it would be cool. And when they tell you that is not allowed you punch them in the throat.

All furloughees will be on the extended pass program once your furlough starts. All your pass riders will be able to travel, but they all have to pay a yield fare (regardless if parents have free travel days still). You will only be allowed to travel on Delta and DCI at S3B (regardless of any S2's you had left).
You still can nonrev on NWA, just call their reservation line, say you're a delta employee, use your comair number and doh and they'll give you a confirmation number. I used this a few weeks ago when it was gonna be impossible to get through ATL (big suprise
) and I went through MEM instead on NWA.
