Avro--Try getting laid off less than a year after you had been a MD80 Capt. making 160k.

Flying is great. The flying business sucks. Putting in 15 years at TWA was no picnic--constantly looking over your shoulder, waiting for the banks to pull the plug, working for chief pilots who, after 20 years still barely had 2,000 hours of flight time with the company.

But, once I knew I was getting laid off, I came to the realization that flying is what I do. It's what I am. I can't separate "me" from "pilot". There is no "getting out of the business". But that's just me. This is all I've ever wanted to do--literally since I knew what an airplane was.

There will be no Jiffy Lube or Dairy Queen franchise in my future. Hope you find something that makes you happy. TC

Hi!

Airtran is looking at buying Midwest Airlines. They already did the code share thing with Frontier.

Satpak--I am married but send me a pic--I'm always on the lookout for new talent. ;)

I guess you mean how did I survive the paycut? I got called to fly the airplane in my avatar the day I got laid off. No family money and my wife is a bank teller.

We had very high limits on our credit cards. TC
 
I guess payroll must have made a mistake paying me 9 year pay. Cool!

Thanks to Carty for letting ya keep pay-seniority from TWA.

Others had to start on the bottom drawing probation pay for 15 months.:rolleyes:

Sounds good brother. Yes, it was a "how did you manage with a family" type of question, which you answered.

Take care
 
CSY--Do you have a lot of people ahead of you for recall? They are running through them pretty quickly.

As of today (per APA) they have 9 for the Jan. 3 class with 5 undecideds and 6 who have bypassed but not returned the letter. They are through 79 so far (including the FIS).

This comes from someone who called APA. I've heard that they've gone through more than 79.

If they stick to 10/month I've at least got 125 flowbies ahead of me so that's a year's worth of recalls to get to me. Looks like I'll be spending Christmas '07 at home... ;) TC

TC,

Do you have access? If not PM me your email and I will send you the recall sheet that is out as of this morning.

AA--A friend at APA sent me the list. Thanks.TC
 
No problem, had a couple other guys PM me for it. I had an idea, let me know what you think. It seems hard, and other times difficult to find out info, ie like the list this morning. There are also rumors (i know how bad they can be, but some do come to fruition), however they are also scattered through out the different forums and message boards. How about a weekly or bi-weekly flyer giving the lastest infor from the company regarding recalls, information on company events, ie the chaos today from the weather, and lastly the latest rumors.

Do you think guys may want this info condensed into a two page email friendly flyer? I am more than willing to put in the time, just wondering if it would be worth it.

Regards,

AA
