They are already short staffed in St. Louis so they furlough more? They are sending people who live in St. Louis that were displaced to IAD to sit hotel reserve in STL to sit hotel reserve! Now more furloughs? I guess they think that this will make us sign that POS bridge proposal... I'm not taking a bite of that ****** sandwich!

In other news:


The Strike Center will be be staffed on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting on the 17th. The hours of operation will be from 10:00-14:00. We are still looking for volunteers to continuously staff the operation.


The number to the office is 1-877-587-2772 if you have any questions.

cant sit hotel reserve if your sick-- use it up-- if you're going to get furloughed , you;d be a fool to leave that on the table!

I was sitting airport reserve since 5a.m. on my birthday (march 12th) and about to get off when I got a phone call notifying me of my new pending furlough. FML

That site is great way to burn the hours away.

APC shows June Furloughs too
 

Curious if anyone has heard or been notified of downgrades or furloughs for June. On the TSA page for APC it shows the 30 furloughs in May and an additional in 20 in June. Just seeing if there is any validity to that.

How could you be speachless.......its TSA.....this is the norm with that place. Good luck guys!

Rumore is that the next thing TSA mgmt is going to do is replace those little ID safety cards with these:

First off, Im sorry to hear of the furloughs, being a furloughed pilot myself, i know it sucks. Second, if TSA is doing all this furloughing, and getting rid of pilots, where is all the flying go to. I have heard on the street that united is looking to get rid of TSA. Anyone shed some light in this??

Well, according to doug-e-fresh (and we all know how much weight that holds), united is actually pretty pleased with us since we did our ramp observations at ORD and IAD. We can only cattle prod so much to get out on time. Also, they have been doing their best to document why planes went out late...like when they dont start boarding until after departure time and then blame it on MX cause they happened to drive by the terminal 2 hrs prior. The only thing United could possibly have against TSA is that we're in negotiations. We all know that United wants the cheapest flying no matter how many passengers they **** off...and besides Mesa, we're it!
