I'm a very junior lineholder in a Western base...awarded 17 off for July. Normally I can expect 16!

Yeh, you're not going to see that type of schedule as a junior line holder at TSA...half a year ago, things were a little different, a junior line holder was a guy who was completing IOE, this while my friends at other regionals were still sitting reserve after 6-12 months. Think when i was senior as an FO, i saw 15-16 days off....could guarentee 14, but normally wouldn't even bid lines less than 15. But took almost a year to get to that point.

Well it is soon getting to the point where I'd be more than happy to get the min 10 days off if it meant I would still have a job in six months...This business just isn't what I had imagined LoL

But in all seriousness...it's a war-zone. Who is going to get sniped next? Who's company is going to hit a land-mine?

it probably won't help matters either when AMR takes their ten 145's back.

So people are losing their jobs and you make snide remarks? Would you like it if Eagle started furloughing and somebody said "yeah, and it's REALLY gonna suck when AMR sells Eagle". TSA didn't gain any flying out of MIA, so if AMR takes them out of MIA, they have to re-bolster the flying out of STL in order not to breach their contract.

contracts are written on toilet paper, it's the good charmin stuff, but still, in the end, all managements do is wipe their rears with it...

Lets all meet in some field or street alley and fight it out mano y mano. Losers boycott whatever city we're fighting about (I obviously really care).
then afterwards throw back some beers together and laugh at how Jimmy got worked.
I know we're outnumbered, but I bet our 300 or so in St. Louis are tough as ****.
two rules: we won't touch your hair as long as you don't grab our balls.

p.s. i have nothing against eagle or its pilots... just drama queens

there is another thread for this crap, keep it over there, will ya...

and fwiw as far as the days off, i did the big sin of forgetting to bid this month and still got a schedule with 16 days off. of course they'll probably try to ja me 5 of those.

I'm with the American Eagle guys on this one. "American Airlines" ... "American Eagle", I would think they are the only ones that should be doing that flying. Outsourcing to a regional to to mainline job is one thing. Then outsourcing from the regional you own to another is taking it a lot farther.

Sucks to get furloughed nonetheless
