In my defense, that's rather hard to do at 30,000' and climbing!

Otherwise I would have.

Although it might say "Your fellow Eagle First Officers" in the letter, the company would hold YOU accountable for public posting of this. Just looking out for you brother as if they decide to go after you, they'll need to either furlough 1 less pilot or recall only 74.

I'd hate to see a career trashed before it even got started...........good luck though.
FEAR, got to love it.....I am sure you were looking over your shoulder while typing that.

The letter is the right thing, and if there were less ppl thinking like you do, we would have a better industry.

from talking to people still at work i have heard that they are running out of reserve fo's everyday and a lot of captains are flying in the right seat.

is this all true?

i hope eagle tries and tries to keep going like this and realizes maybe it's time to stop playing games...

What's going on with the furloughs? Last I heard on here 2 or 3 were 'recalled.' Are they still going to furlough the rest of the 75 beginning of next month?

I hope that it doesn't happen. Good luck to all.

Rumors? I heard that Furloughed pilots get a 25% discount on rooms at the Admiral.

Drops denied, PVD/POs denied, zero reserves, summer travel season is just beginning and we are furloughing the other half of the 75 (or is it 73 now?) pilots June 1.

I would suggest drinking heavily!
