You guys did NOT deserve that whirlwind. I hope you keep looking and are able to find something a tad more reliable!
Everyone is pretty mad as the number furloughed / to be furloughed seemed to change day by day. Needless to say, noone near the bottom feels comfortable anymore. I can see mgmt pulling the trigger even faster the next time works slows down. I will continue to seek other employement opportunities. Another thing that I found odd was that during the furlough we were still going to be required to attend recurrent and then SIM every 90 days, they didn't want anyone to dequal on the aircraft.

After several days into my extension, they were shocked to hear that I was on overtime. They thought I was just helping them and the sick pilot out. Fortunately, I coverd my a$$ with a call to the CP to confirm my OT status. This apparently may not be good enough as the CP has been sent back to the line. Rumors are he has been replaced but no offiical annoucements have been made about a new CP or the old one stepping down. Things are a little tense around the office to say the least. [/end venting]
