Two-month minimum COLAs commencing in April bid period at the earliest. Must be started by the end of November. COLA can last until the April 2010 bid period.

Another benefit we can thank on Age 65.

In my best rusky accent:
For every pilot the company furloughs, I cut off a finger.











P.S. I'm one of the next to go. (70 from the bottom) I'm just trying to keep a positive attitude.

Good news is that it would be character suicide for those who choose to ***** themselves for VJM.

Then followed by voluntary junior manning at 150% pay to cover the operation this summer! It's amazing how CAL steps over dollars to save pennies.

Hey Herc,

I thought we worked at the best company in the world. Or was it the most admired? Or was it somin else? I still got a bad feeling in my stomach. My contract expectations however have never been higher.

Good luck to us all.
