As of now, no furloughs. It really doesn't make sense with the current plans.

I would much rather be at DL or Compass than where I'm at now (a Comedy Air pilot).

To be a Delta pilot, you must quit Comedy Air and work at Mesa first, then Delta might hire you. From what I hear the Delta guys do not like to hire Comair guys because of things that happend 100 years ago.

I replied without even thinking, "I would rather be furloughed from there then stuck at this dump for the rest of my life!" There were 2 other Ass. CP's and SB was in there too. All 4 of there jaws dropped and I turned my back and walked out. FWIW, my last 14 days were all on RSV, and I flew 59.4 hours in two six day runs. My last day I was at 29.4 hrs, they gave me a ready rsv. I went in robbed every aircraft of blankets and water. Called screw sked, they wouldn't let me leave early, so I just told them its my last day I am good for 36 mins. I am going home and hung up the phone was escorted out, with no words of good luck or thanks for 10 yrs of service. Best day of my life. So, it doesn't suck to be a DL pilot or even a CMP guy. Those guys with be on our list at some point.
Nothing has changed since you left. I had 3 hard days Off before my furlough date. Of course, you can't end your "career" at Comair by not sitting one last ready reserve before you get furloughed. At the end of the ready I went into the CP's office to hand in my big box of crap (Ops Manual, FSM, etc.). There was an Asst. Chief standing by the desk BSing with the secretary and nobody said a thing such as "Sorry you are getting furloughed", "Thanks", not even a "Hello" or "Goodbye". Hey, at least they had someone in CVG to take my crap, I think they just put out a box in JFK.

Oh well, I don't miss that place one bit. I still feel like I wasted 2 years of my life working for that sh!thole.

Or a Harbor Pilot.

Or even a Pilot Pen.

But real pilot? Not cool at all.
What about being a Pilot Whale? Or work on a pilot program? These things sound kinda nice too.

If anyone is interested, I met the President of Superior Airways out of Canada and he shared that he is looking for pilots. As I recall, pay is $4K-$5K (Canadian) per month and current a/c are Chieftains, a C206, and soon, a Quest Kodiak as soon as known-ice is approved. From the discussion sounds like it would be a heck of a lot of fun for the adventurous pilots out there.

What are the requirements, I assume you need Transport Canada licenses and medical?

Default Want to fly for Fun?

Besides Diver Driver (We just need to coordinate schedules better), any of you furloughed folks in the CVG area want to do some GA flying? I have a plane and a grass runway in NKY, am a private pilot and fly primarily for the fun of it. Looking at buying a cub this week to add to the hangar. My crew consists of a hodge-podge of airline pilots and private pilots - oh, and a couple of FAA folks.

PM if you are interested.

And yes, I am trying to help get to 15K on this thread.

Looking at a Cub this week with the 85 HP engine. Going to have a partner in it and she is very well known around these parts (and former FAA.).
