Don't you guys at ASA realize that you own NO flying? It is all mother Ds flying and she decided who goes where and on what gage of equipment. I stopped taking route changes between XJ, PCL, NWA and CP personally a long time ago. I just show up and fly to wherever big red tells me to fly to. I can't control it, therefore I waste no more energy in toiling over the monthly changes. Sure, I'd love to fly to more exotic destinations, but I know my airplanes place in the network.
no way!?!
... and I was so counting on those 'permanent' routes of ours to fund my pension

Really? You're kidding me. I didn't know we don't own the flying.
That's such a lame argument. Usually the ones on the receiving end are the ones who bring that argument. Real easy to say when you are the one growing.
Now for your reading and comprehension skills, I never said we "owned" anything. I said they are replacing us on routes we used to do. I should have added with their SJS pilots, and inferior contracts. Enjoy our "exotic" destinations in the year to come as we continue to shrink because we cost more to operate, even though we put out a higher quality product.

I've heard this a couple of times, but how would it hurt the company to furlough pilots and then bring them back in May if needed? It also seems to me we will still be fat come spring when the flying picks up.

I was in the November 5th class, which was the next-to-last class before the new contract so I am "technically" can't be furloughed. I do stress technically and my question is that if furloughs were to happen, how much is this clause really worth? I agree that if we were going to furlough it would have already happened by now but just some food for thought.

No I only do drugs on my off days... Dont want the TSA to get me...
JP can you give up some more info on the F-bomb? Lets talk numbers...
To all that have been F-ed but didn't make the cut, do they reduce line numbers as well? Is it just like a cut to the number of Reserve pilots? Curious cause I would speculate that I would be close to the line...
