One of the places in my past approached the union to furlough out of seniority. Union told them to go pound sand !
They furloughed out of seniority anyway ... fly it and grieve it !
Not saying that's what this meeting is about. Just adding some color comentary to the doom and gloom.

I think getting an unemployment check is far more than cfi pay and lot less risk specially flying in those beat up 172's with someone that's trying to kill u everytime. I'll take my unemployment ck and buy some beer and hangout at the beach awaiting a call back that's of course if it happens.
Don't forget your HONK IF YOU'RE PAYING MY MORTGAGE bumper sticker.

If that happened at UPS, do you think the young guys would grieve it? It seems to me that the absolute smartest thing for UPS to do would be to furlough the over 60 guys out of seniority order. The union would be powerless to stop it because the young guys would support the company's decision.
You must be pretty bored. I mean, trying to stir up a whole lotta nothing with your flaimbait. First, personal mockery, then the age thing. Nice. Looking forward to your next post.

Still, I don't think a furlough will happen.
I predict us hiring by September. Anyone has some towels for the poolies???

as far as that other dude's post about going to be a CFI when UPS furloughs, I was not making a joke about that being a very stupid idea.
You should relax and have a cup of coffee dude.

YOUNG or OLD ... the union would be powerless to stop it.
This old junior guy would grieve it if someone junior to me was not furloughed before me. But there's not many of them.
And I thought my post was flamebait ...

Just curious ... cancelled outright, or downgraded to smaller equipment ?
I have had approx 6 as well. Says CXL on my line, but actually operated by an MD or 767 ... FWIW.

The Age thing was OBVIOUSLY a joke that I was making about the post about furloughing out of senioirty. Easy dude.
