I haven't heard anything from anyone but just looking at the numbers, this next round of displacements will most likley get the Capt and FO numbers closer to equal. For December we're about 95 off (28ish CR7, 67ish CRJ). As seen in the past we have more FO's than Capt's so I would gues the next round would something close to 50 people.

I'm just trying to make sense of the reasons for the additional displacement but I just want to say I'm SICK OF THIS CRAP!

Does this job really define your life? There is so much more out there. I was furloughed for 4 1/2 years with a young child and a wife pregnant with triplets. Suffice it to say we survived and prospered. It can be as good or suck as bad as you decide to make it. Good luck and don't look back. Go live your life. If you sit around feeling sorry for yourself and trolling the forums for a nugget of info, a glimmer of hope, you will only disappoint yourself.

If your wife was pregnant with triplets for 4 1/2 years then nothing at Comair will bother you much!!!

I am not trolling or feeling bad for myself. I am already furloughed, and have a few interviews comming up, already work a part time job and go to school..... if they furlough again it means my significant other will be furloughed... and that will not be good for us both to be on furlough.

Look at it this way. It gives you both an opportunity to go in a new direction. You may find something that you both like to do more than just fly. When the time comes to get recalled, you may not even take it. Watched several guys in my class at Delta do that exact thing.

Quit it! I thought we were running away to Hawaii together... Don't tell me you've reconciled?!?!

Yes you guys should be jealous.

well, as i posted a month ago, i want to say good luck again to all the furloughees out there. my number came up this time around. i find it funny, once i turned in my manuals and ID's im suprisingly ok with it. one of my favorite quotes is, "life's a garden, dig it". so go out and find what you want to do. take a hobby up. go back to school(like im doing). all i really have to say is, good luck and keep your chin up, because the sun will rise again tomorrow.
