I really hope you are correct here. I hope this h%ll hole of an airline burns to the ground. Yea, Ill be out of a job but I will throw a huge party. This place is horrible. Bryan Bedford is horrible. God bless this and God bless that is all we hear from this jerk. Actions speak a h%ll of a lot louder than words though. Surprising a God fearing family man like him can screw over such a huge amount of people and families industry wide. What does he care though, he and his upper management a-hole buddies are bankin on all of this. What a hypocrite p.o.s.

This is what you are if you stay.

Well, our year-end bonus is actually a "profit sharing" bonus that comes out right before Christmas, so some call it the "Christmas bonus". I don't know of any regional that gave out $250-$2,000 per employee based on longevity in 2008...that was a tough year. We got bonuses, which would mean profits were made.

Here's an idea just quit. Let a furlough come back then.

Hmmm, you must be one of those regionals that got paid in "hams" for their bonus in '08. Well, I didn't get a ham, rather $1,500k. What'd you get? Zilch, gift card, or ham?
My point was, once you get over yourself, is that fact that '08 was a ROUGH year on the airline industry, and RAH paid out nice bonuses, AND DIDN'T HAVE TO!!!! Which equates to: RAH made profits.

Im on my way out. I don't plan on being here much longer. Starting classes very soon and have another job lined up!! I am very excited but will miss all the good guys and gals I work with. Me quitting will not bring another furlough back by the way. We are overstaffed, remember?

He actually is not talking out of his butt this time. He heard it from our CEO, who does not make major-impact statements lightly.
The obvious answer is UAL...mesa is walking through a minefield right now, one mistep and they are done. JO is a cockroach, but the deck is really stacked against him this time.

Maybe on CAs but not FOs. We never have any reserves available in STL. I think they are just dodging training costs while they can with all the uncertainty. Are you going to school for the first time or getting your masters? Doing it on-line? I've been consider on-line but don't know who i'd trust yet.

I'm finishing up a BA degree I started. Gonna try doing as much online as I can. Never have done online courses before. People tell me it isn't that bad. You just have to have lots of self discipline. Good luck!! That American flying was great by the way. I always liked the American trips when I was on the 145. Enjoy.
Oh, and I'm with you...the American flying out of STL was fantastic. Enjoyed it tremendously while I was over at Trans States (well it was either that or the typical ORD/IAD bullchips)...
