I am not that far down the list so I think I might see a recall this spring. I am just going to sit back and play some PS3.

I don't know what they would have told you if you went to WI, probably why aren't you here in MN? Haha, maybe I missed something. Sorry, I had to.

Personally I moved to a place I never wanted to even visit for this job and now am kinda stuck here till the furlough blows over. Not many jobs out there even those NOT in the aviation field, Unless you have a CDL.
What is everyone else doing to try to stay sane?
I have been playing some GTA4 online.

You must work at PSA

Also is there some sort of moonshine syndicate or maybe a union? I don't want to be stepping on anyone's toes up here in THE OH. I surely don't want to be seen as bringing down the industry.

There are three relatively good looking girls in DAY. And i guess they all work for PDT at the gates at the DAY airport. Other than that the whole state is pale and rather unattractive.
I should slow down on the posts. What I am going to do for the next three months while I wait.

It's funny how the 'grass is greener,' as they envied my flying job and I envied them driving that big old 4-6-4 steam engine!

It truely is a dirty job, though, when part of their duties involve climbing under the thing daily to lube and inspect the main bearings, and catching soot all day isn't all that great, either. At least they converted it over to burning bunker oil instead of coal.
