I was furloughed from CO 2 years ago. They told us that they would never bring us back. I applied for a couple of positions at Delta but did not get picked up. Then in April I received a cal from CO saying that they wanted to bring me back on a temporary basis. I was about to go but changed my mind at the last minute. I received another letter saying that I needed to return to work on 8/30 or I would forfeit my right to return to work. As much as I love the airline biz and flight benefits, the pay sucks. However, I have decided to return to work to travel again.

My wife has already planned a shopping trip to HNL the first week I am back. We are also planning on meeting family in SEA at the end of September. I am visiting my grandparents in Hawaii in November, and next spring we are taking the kids to Berlin and then stopping in Switzerland and Italy on the way home. We hope to do this by rental car but will fly if it is significantly cheaper. Also in the next few months I would like to travel to HKG and have a suit or two custom tailored

I have been reading the forum all morning and it is great to catch up with what everyone is doing.
