TWELVE years and TWO furloughs later, things have really changed.

I want to come back when things improve. SCOPE. Meanwhile, I will enjoy flying Monday through Friday, home every night, weekends off, paid holidays off and summer vacations. I'm not bitter, I'm blessed..
I concur. At this point, unless there is significant improvement in the JCBA, I wouldn't be able to afford going back.

Agreed! This company will NEVER care about their employees, much less us. IF, one of us were to go back for the 3rd round of beatings, I for one would need a copious amount of alcohol in me before I could sit and hear the "welcome back" briefings by caring managment on day 1!

M-F, home every night, weekends off, paid holidays off, and summer vacation? You certainly picked the wrong industry.

Should have been a teacher...


Even the most senior guys at UAL in 99 didn't always get Christmas off.....

You guys got vaseline? Lucky! We just got the glass, and they tried to charge me for it.
