Just wondering. I don't know if there is.

There are many other pilot and flight attendant groups that have it a LOT worse than we do... Do I really need to list some? If you hate it here, then have the stones to make a change and do something else more satisfying (and hopefully you're senior to me ;-) )

Update on Rob he's up and cracking jokes with the staff but still has a long road ahead of him. They say a month in the hospital.

Then from 25$ jumps to 57$ the 2nd year. In the case of mainline... any mainline I reckon the grass IS greener on the otherside.. Surely there are pilots and FAs that have it worse, I did post with some exageration to emphasize how I feel towards the company, its history of shrinkage, and the general outlook at this point in time.

As far as changes, Im working on it, and doubt I'm senior to you, unless you're furloughed too.

That's not a bad deal, I guess. Except I was looking through my logbook yesterday and it seems like towards the end 8 legs sometimes took 3 days.

Are they doing it in random bases or are they trying to do it in your base?

Yea hopefully, i'm happy for the guys who got recalled, but honestly speaking was dissapointed with the recall numbers, was expecting and hoping for a bit more. But then again the amount that got recalled so far (like 20?) is spot on with my prediction.. so..
