As much as I saw this coming it still sucks. On the other hand, it is a huge weight off my shoulders. At least now when looking for jobs I can tell a future employer when I can actually start.

Good luck brothers. I just hope we don't hear of open time pick-ups skyrocketing.

what is the official date?

Like that matters. Do you really think ASA is going to furlough these guys for the most of 2009 and then call them back. Just to furlough them AGAIN in 2010?

Spot on!!!!! No one should pick up Initial Open Time or Daily Open Time until our furloughed pilots are back to work.

Good luck getting everybody to understand that... At Comair, there are guys picking up OT all over the place... some people just dont get it or dont care. Good luck to all getting F'd, hopefully it wont be for too long.

While a noble gesture, avoiding open time won't gt the furloughees back. Especially if you're a captain.

Now if the union sent a memo saying to avoid it, maybe that would be something, but they won't.

And sorry to hear about it for all of you. I hope it doesn't last as long as they think it will.
