AA to Furlough 1,000 more pilots

[BLUE BAYOU]

I agree with all of you fellas, especially with the fact that when you want to hunt somebody down (Bin Laden), you don't launch 150 cruise missles-- you send in the Special Forces. The economy goes up and down, unfortunately it has been down as of late and fuel prices with the help of the Venezualans and the million barrel fire in NYC contribute. Regardless, the President is doing his job as best he can. Remember, he took an oath to protect us from enemies, foreign and domestic... Pray for a quick war and bring 'em all home safe!!!

Re: Worse Than That

750Driver,

If the numbers the union is announcing are correct, furloughs will go back to the mid 1980s for the TWA folks. Many of our captains will be furloughed.....imagine that!

Imagine? 6000 of us are already living it!!!

It's a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** shame....but I think management kind of likes sticking it to us pilots.

Rider...
Just where are you getting your info?

These additional furlough numbers are purely rumor and speculation.

MD8Pilot ... I'm sorry to hear this news. Hopefully it will not happen. Let me tell you ... I'm still searching after 16 months, and the situation is not at all what I would have expected

Best wishes to all the AA folks.
