ASA Furlough: On a Serious Note
As a recent ASA furloughee, I find it nessesary to say THANK YOU for the support I have seen come around during this last week or so. We ALL really appreciate it! While the furough is extremely unfortunate, I am proud to work for a company that contains the "type of people" that will willingly sacrifice their time and effort for a situation that does not directly affect them like it does us. When I first got the notice, I immediately wondered how ASA, my fellow pilots, and the Union would react; hoping we weren't to be cast aside and somewhat forgotten. After reading posts on APC, talking with fellow ASA pilots, and attending the recent ALPA meeting; I feel that while I'm out the door, I'm taking with me a much better appreciation for the people I work along side. We are much in debt to all of you should I find myself flying once again in the future...

Good luck with things and hopefully we can bring you guys back soon! Though there are certain very vocal critics, I can honestly say most of the guys I've talked to lately are willing to go above and beyond for you guys. Hopefully, we'll get the COBRA thing passed for you - it's pennies, I know, but every little bit helps!

At least when we return most of us will hit 2nd year pretty quickly, and then we'll be drawing MMG during the 3+ month training.
More money for booze and tits.

Methinks we need to have a big ACEY80 party at the Pink Pony when we get back... or should we hit the Clermont Lounge?
