For those Furloughed living in Kentucky, does anyone know how long our unemployment lasts for?

I believe the normal period is 26 weeks, but you can qualify for the extension with no problem I've heard. I was on it 3 months and was only called in once to do the "review" one week before I began my new job.

6 Months automatically, with an extension to a year. Now you have to have an unemployment review every 12 weeks as opposed to the original 6. It's nothing to worry about though, the lady in the office told me they can't deal with all the claims, let alone calling to check that all the jobs you applied for are correct. Not suggesting that you shouldn't apply for jobs every week, just that they are completely snowed under. Makes me laugh to think that the unemployment office is understaffed.

you know maybe it is just me but doesn't anyone else think it is odd that the company comes out and says, " oh we don't know what our staffing will be past August, boo hoo". But then the training transfer schedule comes out and half of the people will not be trained untill Sept through Nov. *** over??? This place is a joke and our leadership lies as much or not worse then Delta.

**** on Delta!!!

Now with a forced displacement to JFK and the company doesn't give a rats ass about me having to move there or commute there, Do they really think about me caring about A14, Being on time, PPAS or APU?????

I don't give a F#$% about it, burn it while I can!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't flame me, but what exactly does management have to do to make you think they give a pooh about you?

Pay for your move? Send flowers? Bake you cookies? I'm not hating, just wondering what exactly people expect the company to do to help them?

Best of luck with JFK, and remember there are 298 Comair brothers/sisters that would gladly relocate to NY if it meant a paycheck that wasn't signed by the State of Kentucky....

I agree. It may not be perfect and it may not be what we signed up for; but there are people who would do anything to sit ready RSV in JFK. It kills me to see senior captains complain. There comes a point where you need to make a choice. 1) suck it up and live with it or 2) Quit.

That said, I'm not being pro-management: I think this is going to be used to get people to quit. I just simply have no sympathy for someone who complains about a job when we have 300 people on furlough.
