B767300ER,
Actually I'm within the 2500 pilots that will be furloughed. But I couldn't in good faith vote for a TA that punished the pilot force for mistakes made by bad management.
About your qualifications, I'm sure you and your buddies are more qualified than myself. You see, I flew 20 years in the military (Air Force), the first half in C-130s and the last 7 years flying for the Vice-President in Air Force II (B-707). After retirement, I flew for a cargo airline for two years in a B747-400 until hired by American.
However, most of my flying experience was international to places like Russia, mainland China, South America and Africa to name a few spots.
I probably didn't have enough experience to fly at TWA. Now what exactly was your background????
You have a very good day.
