Well this will be interesting.
From the last list, because of retirements, vol. furlough and so on....i was safe by less than 10 people.
During the last annoucement (i'm learning that any kind of annoucement at CMR is going to be a bad one), i went through the phases of being mad about the upcoming furloughs, then my attitude changed to a more relaxed "maybe i'll just enjoy the break" kind of thinking.
When the list showed that i was going to be safe....but only by so few, that brought the idea of being the most junior of JFK reserve, when i live no-where near there. Starting thinking about the costs of crashpad, etc etc etc. And things became un-easy.
But if more are to come-i think many of us are just ready to roll with it.
More senior people going on reserve is probably what will drive them to the breaking point of quitting-which is bottom line what the company wants.
And seeing some of the "more holy than u-im better than you because i just upgraded" people being kicked back down notch, well i dont feel sorry for them-but granted its only a small % of the people that when you looked at your schedule to see their names....it only leads to a long sigh or a sick call.
We shall see, and best of luck to all of us.
Ah and i will see i had alot of fun this week jumpseating on USAirways this week to work-talking to some funny guys i kinda what i needed to put a spring in my step before starting the trip last week.
