I understand Express One and World Airways are going to cut crew members Jan. 1. Does anyone know the status of Polar Air Cargo? <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Delighted to learn of your 'birthright' old chap...
plus the fact that you speak English.
Indeed! You must be delighted. What with the crisp new Euro in legitimate circulation.
Whatever is this world coming to. EH?

I was born in Canada, where we learned proper English from the English. Way back when, of course.

The Aussies will declare you a POM (Prisoner of the Motherland)
Methinks we shall call you a Pom as well.....
as in pompous.

Just a suggestion, mate. Whilst you're looking up the meaning of 'furlough', try looking up the definition of 'pompous'.

...there's a good lad.

Willie Everlearn??? A quite unnecessary attack on EGGW. The fact that he does not know what furlough means just shows that is is ignorant. I would say that you are the pompous one. Your nom de plume is most appropriate!!

Mr.W.E,

I speak English and Strine probably better than most, and I did't know what a "furlough" was either.

Unpleasant little man. <img src="mad.gif" border="0">

The term 'furlough' seems to be an Americanism for being laid off (while still technically employed) by your airline. A 'furloughee' is one who has been furloughed....a term I know all too much about at the moment!
