I said before that being on long term disability and returning was probably the only exception. Even medical bills are not an excuse if you kept your job because our insurance would've caused only a small hardship easily recoverable. Being on LTD and our LTD is the industry worst if you're out for more than 24 months.

I'm a single dad trying to make ends meet and taking under gurantee some months just to spite people like you. It feels great and I sleep really well at night enjoying my time off. Also every time I hit ignore on my phone there's a chance he company has to cancel a flight and lose tens of thousands of dollars. So next theory please

I give you props for single Dad in this field. It is no easy task. But in reality you are not holding the line you drop under 72 to be home because it is tough to schedule daycare. So even at 70 hours average assuming 4th yr CA you are grossing $110,000 a year. Hardly struggling with money compared to first year FO grossing at 72 $33264 and they have families too.

Also I have to pay for day care regardless of whether I work or not. I wish it was only pay for what you use but that's a rant for another day.

Also, yourmom, I don't know if you are management or just an apologist for greed but nobody here is content making 50 percent of our peers. The allure of what I'll now refer to as 100 percent pay or JAs is dwindling as the light at the end of the tunnel emerges for a new contract. 230 dollars an hour straight pay sounds mighty good and every JA I turn down gets us one little step closer. So if you are one of us, get onboard and let's all do whatever it takes to make this happen.

I'm pretty sure he's just trolling & trying to get people's panties in a bundle, and it appears to be working. Just hit ignore like we all did with Cujo a while back....
