They were shipping STL captains out to RIC to sit hotel reserve 'cause of the downgrades, but all the MIA flying is done out of the st. louis base...

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 a divorce!!!!

I know the upcoming ALPA outing was probably planned way out in advance, and is appreciated, but pretty ironic it fell on this week.

ALPA: You just got furloughed, what are you going to do now?

Furloughed guy: "I'm Fuggin going to Six Flags, Btch! WOOoo"


God bless, you guys.

One moment they're short (capts, that is) and denying temporary leaves of absence because the "received enough", and now they furlough. I don't get it :confused: The company picnic is coming up and I doubt they'll run out of food.

Im sure it has already been said but Comair is hiring 50 pilots a month right now. We would love to have any TSA furloughed guys(or any TSA guys for that matter) come over. Send me a PM and I will gladly forward your resume to our HR staff.

Will they be required to show up with a backpack, IPOD, and spiked hair?
