Without wishing to ignite any rumors, my girlfriend was flying a trip yesterday and said that CA and FO were discussing callbacks and the fact that some 100+ could be in the works.

Does anyone know anything about this? I'm just curious before I get bashed for wishing the impossible

Has anyone tried NRSA traveling lately? The planes are COMPLETELY packed! I know it's the Spring Break time of year, but gimme a break. Delta still wants to reduce domestic capacity eh? It's been like this for months. W-T-F over?

Ya, I can't go anywhere... I've tried twice to sneak down to ILM to visit some family and never even got to ATL. Pretty much the only thing you can do is hop the pond, but good luck if it involves getting to JFK or ATL first.

As everyone knows, the trick is to avoid JFK and ATL and chose your times wisely.

I traveled BDL-MCO on mainline twice (once in feb and once in March) and only had to ride in coach for one of those legs. And chose my flight times at low demand ie bdl-mco 6:50 departure on a friday and mco-bdl 10:30 departure on a monday

Well that's bad news for the 450 or so who will need to get to JFK starting next month.

There was a thread in the majors section (recently closed) about a woman who was a former United captain/aspiring artist, and it sounds like she will be looking for nude models. After she gets her settlement from United, she will probably be able to afford to pay a pretty decent salary!

I traveled my arse off since getting furloughed... europe a bunch of south florida, and the midwest for grad school stuff... I havent had a problem....ALL through JFK and ATL..... as for unemployment running out yeahhhh... it sucks. luckily i have a part time job and yeah it sucks when i drive 65 miles to work and make the same amount as I would on unemployment sitting home, but u have to look at it from the perspective of.... i am extending my unemployment....even though u wont get unemployment this week bc u worked, you WILL get it. many people say why work if u can make more sitting on your butt......well..unemployment runs out.....
