And I want to share my meme for the morning Mx hustle at STL.
"Ah, finally done, what a b**** of a night that was... all of my paperwork is in, my plane is out of the hangar. It's 8:00 AM, I'm out of here in 30 minutes."
-Later, watch showing 8:24-
*ring ring*
Me: Hello?
Supervisor: Hey man, can you take 808 over? It was supposed to be on the gate 10 minutes ago.
Me: ...Yeah, sure.
"Damnit! I never get off on time. Plus the pilots are going to be p*ssed and ask me all kinds of derogatory questions."
*Ten minutes later, aircraft ready for repo*
Me: Operations, aircraft 808, looking for our gate.
US Ops: "Chatter, chatter, rabble, rabble, uhhh... yeah dawg you gon' be on Alphuuuuh fif' tane.
Me: One Five, Roger...
*Uneventful repo*
Me: Operations, 808 abeam fifteen......
Me: Operations, 808 copy......
*Ten dudes stroll out taking their sweet time, playing grab ass or looking at a cell phone*
[Removed your image so's I could put my image at ze bottom.]
"Okay, finally got it on the gate... Brakes set, engine two shut down, Hyd pumps off."
*DING* Baggage door open
*Click* Master Caution off
"Okay, N2 zero, APU bleed off."
*DING* AIL system 1-2 low press
*Click*
"GPU On, APU Off."
*DING* Rudder System 1-2 low press."
*Click, Click*
"APU 0%, fuel pumps off."
*DING - Click, Click, Click*
"Damnit, quit dinging!!"
"Beacon off."
Signing off gear pins...

I ain't makin' no decisions 'bout comin' back 'til I see the April 1 Seniority List. Ain't want no lifetime of reserve if I's acceptin' recall.

Seems like this is just a band aid. FO already said a few weeks ago that we were going down to 21 planes because he renewed 838 and 840 something. All this means is we gave up on trying to get US air flying or they weren't going to give it to us in the first place. So this is a gain on one airplane from what he said we were going to get weeks ago? All this sounds like is that attrition was worse than what they thought it was going to be. Seems like a lot of guys are going to VA. Congrats to them. But if guys that were furloughed already have something tangible, I would wonder why they would come back. Seems like we're going to be facing the same hurdles next year yet again.
