I totally understand your frustration (and Nick's). Brendan has been based in Cleveland (he commutes) for about 5 years now, and he is going to end up bidding Newark on the next bid. Express keeps shrinking the flying in Cleveland and even though he has been with the company for 7+ years he will probably not even hold a line in Cleveland next month. He is so upset, because the commute to EWR usually sucks. So much for being #480 out of ~2300 pilots! The worst part is he has to bid vacation as if he is based in Cleveland and he looses those weeks when he has to bid to Newark and then has to pick what is left over. That is what is upseting him this weekend. Now he'll have crap for his 3 weeks of vacation next year

Sorry to thread hi-jack Tanya! I hope all is well with your family. Has DH heard anything new yet about the furlough? Any job prospects? Keeping you guys in my thoughts.
