Any interesting info?

Im not paying $10 for an account.

No just the usual trolling and blind speculation you expect over there. So glad I got grandfathered in, and didn't have to pay to read that crap.

Tony, Delta has the money to buy you. Most likely it could be a cash deal for the big D. But I agree not going to happen. We at Endeavor will get an industry leading contract before that happens. Have a great weekend.

Is Express hiring into the eek at this time or still CRJ only?

Both, you get hired into Indoc then bid based on class seniority in IAH. All based on availability. I'm on the 19th class so seems we're the new beta test for this method.

CRJ side you are limited to 3 occurrences in a 12 month period before they start harassing you and giving you crap about it.

Yeah, I grandfathered in as well. I quit reading FI on a regular basis, but I guess this is worth looking in at purely for entertainment purposes.

Similar to ours without a doctor's note. On the 4th occurrence in a rolling 12 months, you get a verbal warning, 5th a written warning, 6th a termination warning, 7th I don't know since they have never been dumb enough to fire anyone for sick calls.

This actually makes perfect sense - that is, that there would be a rumor started that we were being bought by some other unknown entity. It sure would be nice to have an idea of the source of this rumor. Guesses?
