You've only been at Eagle for 12 months? You're about to get a serious smack down by AMR via bankruptcy. You'll be lucky to have a job in another 12 months

I'm really sorry, buddy. People picking up OT while we are furloughing ****es me off more than anything else in this industry. My long time girlfriend was one of our 20 that were furlough out of the schoolhouse (she is now at XJT).
I recently overheard one of our finest captains complaining about the recent lack of OT (a lot of it is blocked). He owed his recent ex-wife some $$ and needed the OT to help rectify this situation..so in order to fix his crappy situation, he was advocating immediate furloughs.
We truly are our own worst enemies. I hope the LOAs help avoid this mess for as long as possible.

It might seem easy to do now but after a couple of years you'll be burned out wishing you hadn't done this career.
Have a back up plan, I do.

I doubt the LOA's will be very helpful, but we find out tomorrow how many have been granted...keeping my fingers crossed. I'm glad your gf was picked up by XJT, I haven't heard back from anyone yet...
...the choices we make huh?

I would like someone to post nursing/two year medical stats---the Return On Investment I think is just nuts...the money and opportunities a two year or four year medical degree? Wow. Some posters have said, "Block, don't be negative" when I offer people to at least think about going the medical route....
It seems like a solid career, I don't understand why I am taken as being negative. Do you think nurses shudder at what the oil prices will do?!! Don't think so!!!
