More Furloughs at UAL

[AA717driver]

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..

See, this 7 year old thread COULD be considered relevant. Could...:erm:

2002, ah, still CA on the MD80, holding a line for most of the year. Hadn't voted for my own furlough--yet. Still making real airline Capt. pay.

Shoulda bought gold...

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!

Your wish is my command:
