Sorry for the bad news. Hope you all are able to find jobs soon. I'm just a student & am hesitant to go into the airlines industry d/t all the furloughs & the horrible pay for new pilots.

"you can't afford it." But yes, there is a vast difference between being employed at a regional where your paycheck comes from the same bank account as mainline, than when it comes from some regional that happens to have the flying by trying to undercut the next company....

The mainlines will have their regional feed one way or another. We can keep accepting jobs from lowlife scumbags types like (insert name here), and helping him get rich while accelerating the race to the bottom, or you can get some self respect and do what's right in the first place... when the lowlife Companies go away, the owned companies will just grow larger.

It's basically the same arguement Mainlines have been saying about regionals for decades... that we are stealing the flying... and nobody believed them.... I'm sure if you ask a few Midwest pilots, they may be able to explain the long term detramental effects of outsourcing.... be it outsourcing to replace a little plane, or a big plane....

Furloughed on February 5.

They love to add insult to injury.

Looks like you need to hurt your back right after Christmas, or get very sick.

Did you actually think you're important to them? We're all just meaningless numbers.

Don't worry homie, I requested to take a January 5 furlough because the spring semester starts in January and I don't want to miss it.

I hope you will get an extra month
