Does he like the job? How long has he been doing it? What does he have to say?

Something tells me the decision to furlough came from above their heads.

sorry to get off topic, anyone know where to stay in the phx area(+/-60 radius)? perhaps even offer airline employee discounts(currently furloughed). not sure if that would work but looking for some advice.

I stay in PHX a lot and there is a studio 6 extended stay right close to the airport. They don't give an airline discount but they are pretty cheap about 45$ a night or 250$ a week. They all have kitchens so you can cook food if you prefer. It is in a decent area and I have never had any scum staying there when I was there.
here is the link
Studio 6 Tempe Arizona Extended Stay Hotel

that link should work
