All I can say to those new hires....As tempting as it may be to have a job....PLEASE for the love of all things Holy.....DO NOT GO TO GOJETS!!!!

Im sure most of you are educated enough about them....they arent doing you any favors. Things will get better.....eventually

What kind of b.s. remark is this?

For the others that got the notice today- Did you find the phone call to be cold?

My mentor told me that you are not a true airline pilot until you have been furloughed, gone on strike, and survived a bankruptcy. One down....two to go.

Don't forget divorced. You have to be divorced too ;)

Best of luck to all of you at TSA. I'm looking at hearing the F-word soon too.

I heard through the grape vine yesterday that I should expect an f-word letter next month for a f-word to start in September. This will be my second f-word in a year. Yay for me. Yay for all of us.

According to www.mypilotcareer.com I am eligable for a few jobs based in India or China. Although I have been through quite a few indocs lately, and I might be up for a break from the industry for a while.

Are you S.O.? On the SAAB at Eagle?

A little off topic but I heard TSA was TDY'ing guys from STL to MIA since AA has a new TSA "base" in MIA now. This true ? TDYing is $$$$ paying for hotels 24/7 plus per diem.

There is another closed thread on this board saying "with more to come in the following weeks". Are they seriously considering more or is this just rumor?

They will not know what to do next until the can observe the pilot group squirm around, then they will make another quick move that will be boneheaded in nature.
I would just wait and see how this pony rolls down the hill.

To be honest, I was hoping this was managments way to call our bluff in contract talks. I was way wrong on that.

I find it funny that no one sees this as a blessing in disguise, when one door closes another opens...

People like to make their own choices, not be forced out. If I thought I could find a truly better place (considering many factors), I'd do it in a heartbeat on a voluntary basis. Getting a furlough is rarely a blessing. Sure you can make the most of it.
