Jetblue has triple pay on the table at the moment. Had to run it by the union first...Did some negotiating for the company to be able to allow it.

Sounds like airlines are already in the process of precanceling for the rest of the month.

It’s mostly related to the weather in ORD today, but I’m currently on reservation number 4 trying to get me to work today/tomorrow/whenever. The irony is at the top of this post there’s an advertisement for my airline talking about stress free commuting. I’m appreciating the extra days at home, you guys keep doing what you’re doing.

Seems like everyone has the 'rona. (Raises hand).

I’m typed. I’ll cover some trips for them. Hell I’ll even accept 300% of MY airline’s pay.

my shop offered a blanket 200% to ANYONE operating a flight between12/28 and 1/4. Scheduled or picked up.

Maybe if the FAA did something like this we’d have more than 4 people here tonight. So if any of y’all get delays into EWR/TEB it’s cause 2 people are working 9 positions.

Since there’s only two of you there, do you alternate between having the wands or the whistle?

well then I expect a kickback. As a government employee I fullheartedly endorse corruption when it’s to my benefit.

Triple pay? these airlines sure are rich corporations rolling in cash now…..from somewhere.

As to you, rhey’ll kick back a percentage of the bag fees to you guys.

Says you. I'll hold and stack cheddar until it's time to do an Avianca 52, then it's pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan, you figure it out.

Don't you guys still get free pizzas sent in? The overall attitude of this pandemic sure has changed, you folks and nurses are stretched to the brink. But the nurses get to dance in the White House, what's up with that? I'll bet you can find a couple of ATC folks that can still pop-lock and bust a move right?

I was unaware of the existence of not delayed flights to either airport?

Everyone is getting Omicron... Apparently now all I have to say is "I was exposed" and because my vaccine is 6 months old I'm pay protected and quarantined for 5 days. This is hilarious.

Getting Omicron and bragging about being vaxxed and having no symptoms is trendy now, everybody who's anybody is doing it.
