Welcome! It's great to see so many new faces. Please ask if you guys have any questions; we were all new hires at some point!

My apologies, Silverlake. I overreacted. I was frustrated at my lack of being able to trip trade some reasonable trips more than 24 hours out. I did not mean to discredit your experience. Please forgive me...and welcome.

Don't confuse work with family. They'll shaft you in a New York minute. Welcome aboard, coworker!

That said, a "pure" furloughee gets tossed into the class drop.

Partly correct.

They get whatever base they can hold, but take equipment from the drop.
Our class drop was 10 EWR 756, 2 EWR 320, and 6 EWR 737.

We had one returnee who took 1 of the 737 spots, but immediately went to LAX.

I was doing it at 70-75%. Guys like you are why guys like me kept getting called.

You can, as a lineholder, and I did. After 1300 local base time day prior. When EWR based I used to have open pairing alerts set and picked up a bunch of DEN trips. Now based in DEN.
