There was a light at the end of the tunnel, but it burned out. Now, someone needs to crawl their butt down the long dark tunnel, and FIX IT!

You'll have to call MTX for that. And it will have to be replaced with an FAA certified bulb.

Default Furloughs by status

Here are the numbers by bid status FYI:

JFE - 25
NFE - 15
OFE - 10
OFC - 10
DFA - 4
SFA - 5
MFA - 6

I went by the next effective status as of May 1 or later if that pilot was scheduled to be in training after the effective date of the furloughs. Best of luck to all my Eagle brothers. I will pass along any job openings I hear of. Hope to have everyone back soon!

Okay, it's been a long day of flying but I'm not sure there are enough numbers there.

There are times that it is ok to pick up OT right now. Like your example, or when your baby is crying and needs food, shelter. I'm not gonna pick it up just so I can buy a wii or something like that, but I will to make ends meet. Me being evicted doesn't help that guy on the street any.

I hope that all of you will persuade your fellow pilots to send a message of unity to management by not picking up flying. Even if you are not in the bottom 75 the message will at least cause them to hesitate when considering the next round of furloughs. You will be actually helping yourself by increasing job security if you want to think of it that way. I have decided not to pick up a single flight from here on out (and yes I am poor too).

Also has anyone received a furlough notice yet? Until the first round of furloughs gets the letters it may be possible to mitigate the total number if there is an immediate and strong show of support. This furlough plan is just the latest of a long line of missteps by management starting with parking the saabs. Make them own up to it.

It's a bit late for the April OT window considering it was about half over when the announcement was made and most people probably had OT requests in already. As of May 1 though, no more OT for me. It's gonna hurt but that just means all of us have to get more creative with the way we bid. Use the contract to your advantage.
