You are right. I was amazed on how every at our airline upon reaching milestones in the company get recognized... All our recalls must have been overlooked upon reaching our one year with the company.... And the same e-mails went out about "MERRY CHRISTMAS." haha Yeah right....

Are they going to bring the "Jump to Conclusions" game from Office Space?
I WISH! That thing has always been a dream of mine to play!

I know it's quite automated, but it was a slap in my face when - on my last trip, I checked my mailbox and I had a "Congratulations on 1 year of active service! We appreciate all you've done and accomplished! Blah blah blah."
Gee thanks for the furlough and you're about 20 days early. :whatever:
As far as holiday services, ASA I must say was pretty good about them. Two servings of ham/turkey and fixings during Thanksgiving and Christmas. One in the morning to about 1pm, and another at around 5pm to 8pm. Catered.
Only trouble was, the DGS ramp rats had their lounge just two doors down from our overflow lounge - where they set all this nice stuff up. So, if you didn't get in there by about start time plus one hour, all the food would be gone as they'd filter in and grab some.

At Mesa ALPA bought me dinner a lot more times than the company ever did. The first time was because ALPA is forbidden to step foot on the training center so to do the new hire briefings they invited everyone in our class to lunch.

From a pilot. A modestly senior one at that.
Must have been nice to never have to suck crow during your career.

Seems like the senior ASA guys and senior Comair guys were cut form the same mold.

Last year my company had us arrive at the Grand Ballroom of the JW Marriott so they could feed us breakfast. Omlette stations, fresh fruit, mimosas, etc. all included. Then, they flew the editor of Automobile Magazine out to speak to us to about the auto industry. After that they handed out countless plasma TVs, trips to Europe for factory tours, blah blah blah.
Know what we go this year? A letter telling us how lucky we were to have jobs. HA!

Wow, I just read through all the comments and I knew morale sucked, but damn! (not that I disagree).
So basically, your co-worker is saying "I've got mine, pull up the rope, holy cow, lookit my sweet schedule"?

There's a lot of those here.
We had this big meeting to discuss the furloughs ('management' was over 10 mins late showing up). But when they got to the Q&A part one of the first questions was someone asking "so with these 56 guys gone, will line values go up?"
Then on our company website there was another senior guy bitching and moaning about "hopefully line values will go above guarantee so I can afford to pay my bills"
At this company (excluding first year pay) there's nobody to blame but yourself if you can't budget to live on guarantee. It might not be glamorous, but it can (and should) be done.
One of the best pieces of advice I've heard (and I'm pretty sure it was on here) is to budget yourself for guarantee and look at the rest as extra.
