Dear CVG captain that I met at PHL the other day,
Thank you for being rude, and nearly sprinting down the jetbridge to avoid talking to a lowly furloughed FO (even though the aircraft was not even at the gate yet). It reminded me why I loved being JFK based, and why I disliked flying with old crotchity CVG captains. Oh well, I guess there is no need to worry about it, since Comair will probably never recall us anyway. I just thought it would be interesting to stop and talk to an OH guy that still has a job. From now on, I'll just pass by any old guys with CVG stickers on their bag.

Actually it was at the point that I mentioned I was furloughed that he bolted for the door...and from the jetbridge I heard "I wouldn't count on any recalls."

Sorry he was rude, but he was being honest. I'd love to see it, but a lot of people don't think you'll be coming back.

I used it for about 4 months while my seniority was decent. If you hold a line, it can save you a bunch of time and it does a pretty good job. If you are on reserve, it is pretty much pointless. It can sort out trips from the bid packet based on any number of criteria that you place into it. While I used it I was happy with it.

No recall=Mainly because of Comair's senior captains and how their friends are flying 777's and their flying a CRJ....cuz of them were stuck....so when he was rude to you, you should of fired back with something along that line, but then again it would of got us no where but then again we have to act professional unlike the Geriatric's at Comair
