Ahhh......the good ole days! We're a more respectable airline now!! My personal fav's:
regarding big front seats......"we'll give you an extra 6 inches"

during the Anthony Weiner scandal we had a "wiener sale"

and during the LAS opening we had strippers on poles on the back of a truck bed going up and down the strip with a billboard behind them that read "take me home for $9.00"!!

Don’t shoot the messenger, was in training last week and was told a ‘rumor’ they’re not planning any hiring in 2021, but are prepared to ramp up to full speed any time they will need to.

Sounds like it’s all up to demand. If they don’t have to hire more to staff summer 2021, they likely won’t need to hire until they need to staff summer 2022.

just a rumor, praying I’m completely wrong

I’ll volunteer for more EIL beyond June I’d it helps 😬

From the email, those of us on longer EILs will have a warmup and PC when coming back. Would like to see another sim in there to shake the dust off. Warm up and PC is canned so it’s not a great representation of getting into “game shape”. I’ll be ready to come back in April, that’s for sure. Makes me realize I’m not ready to retire and might actually like this flying gig I got.

Im not sure what email you are talking about. However Im 100% sure back when this all started they said those on EILs would be given two warm ups to address the issue of being off for so long. this wasnt in writing at the time as far as I know, it was just something someone said on one of the phone meetings we could listen to. Whether or not that came to be true, idk. But I definitely recall it being said by someone.

“Deep state” email from the union

In all seriousness...MEC Chairman’s update email had ittoday. No mention of extra sims.
