Well if we are sharing stories-- My most memorable stories was when the chief pilot in DFW called security to escort me and another furloughee out of the DFW pilot lounge following our last flight. Needless to say I was surprised. Talk about the walk of shame, I would say that single 10 minute event is my most memorable experience at Delta.
Then I noticed she was carrying a small plastic spatula looking thing. She needed it to scrape the parking sticker off my windshield.

With my first furlough, I was escorted out by the chief pilot's drop dead gorgeous secretary. Once I was out of the building, she continued to walk and talk with me all the way to my car. Being a pilot of course I'm thinking: Hmmm maybe I'm in for a good sympathy boink here. Then I noticed she was carrying a small plastic spatula looking thing. She needed it to scrape the parking sticker off my windshield.

Buzz, this post speaks to me. As a 4yr 11month furloughee I came back looking for that unity as well. It has been a sad trip watching all the petty fighting and lack of unity. Everyone suffered but that doesn't mean it's time to be selfish to get back what we lost. Unity is the only answer but I'm discouraged at our chances unless a guy like you steps up seriously, published author, proven leader and all around good guy. By the way I'm lax based you got my vote
seriously, published author, proven leader and all around good guy. By the way I'm lax based you got my voteI agree Buzz. I can handle public relations for you...along with some light gardening.

I did live in DFW. You had the option to mail your ID in and they would send you a furlough ID if you were a commuter or just did not want to come back to work. Jump seat was gone immediately as I recall but they let us keep our travel benefits in a S3c status so all the commuters were able to get home.
