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!

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.

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!
