I just came to lying naked on the floor in the fetal position sucking my thumb. Your reference to 3 am ready reserves gives me wicked flashbacks to years ago sitting in the quiet lounge in CVG trying to fight for one of the two lazy boys available. Ready reserve is the absolute worst assignment at Comair. There should never be a situation that the company couldn't predict a two hour callout for. Time to drink some scotch now, warm the belly and forget the old 14 hour duty days, reduced rest layovers following the early RR.
How long did it take to get past this and on to better days?

ftrpilot, Did you get you're "voluntary redution" severance package forms? I saw the managers had a bunch of the crew schedulers in the conference room explaining the package on Friday evening. We're loosing two positions. They handed them out Thursday and told us we had till today to fill them out if we chose to do so. Did they give you today as the deadline as well? This weeks is supossed to be kickoff to Comair showing people the door. Strap in, the ride's about to begin!!!!!

I know for us in mx we're loosing a total of 14 positions that are management and administrative. I'm not sure how many mechanics they're going to let go because there are some MRO contracts in the works.

I obviously don't know, but I'd be surprised if they would let any mechanics go. Don always talked about how much money ground handling and doing MX for other airlines we were making.
