More Furloughs at UAL

[densoo]

...Oh wait, you posted that in Jan 2002. Let me catch you up.Bush got a second term, we have a black President now, there are tens of thousands of pilots on the street and there's an iphone app for everything now. Welcome to 2009! Life's GREAT!!!!

However, CAL is still at the bottom of major carriers in compensation and QOL due to yet another concessionary contract later that year. Nice that some things never change.

Who's the F^%#ng wing nut that needs his head smashed with a pipe wrench. Quit tooling around with 7 year old posts and go play in Oak City rush hour traffic wearing a sign that says "I voted for Obama"

Have any of these guys been recalled?

Pull your head out of your as* dude...why would you pull a thread from '02.....just go away.

Seriously. This thread makes me want to rent Spider-Man and then rock out to "How You Remind Me."

Ahhh, 2002...

Firefox was born, police arrested the DC snipersJohn Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, Antonio Meucci was recognized as the first inventor of the telephone by the United States Congress, and President George W. Bush fainted after choking on a pretzel.

Oh how I miss the simpler times...

Not to mention we invaded Iraq, Saddam Hussein was hung on tv, all the 732 and 722s are gone... DC10s are no more... Bin Laden got away, New Orleans was leveled, they built a huge city in the desert in the middle east called Dubai, the housing market crashed, the stock market went Tango Uniform, OJ Simpson FINALLY went to jail and O'Hare is now the RJ capital of the world. And those furloughed guys? They got recalled- held reserve for a year- now they are furloughed again. And Chautauqua Airlines bought Frontier and Midwest Express!


Man- 7 years can change the world... for the worst!

Bring back the year 1999!

I was trying to go back a bit more & find out if Pan Am is still hiring, but no luck. Anybody got some more info...?

LOL!

 

[LearLove]

ooops.... never mind

Speaking of Pan Am... What company flew the Dash 7s for them? I still remember my first ever flight JFK-ORF in 1990. Little did I know ...

Ransome Airlines, I believe...

Ironic

Spoke with a current UAL 767 FO last evening and he mentioned that a new furlough message is coming out. No further info given, just that. This seems to coincide with the previously announced fall furloughs from some time back, if I remember correctly. What a da#$ shame..
