What we have lost in real dollars.

[bagsmasher]

-7784 -16% base pay (topped out FSC)
- 312 -no longevity (15 year employee)
-1206.40 -no shift differential (.58 per hr.)
-4434.60 -only 5 Holidays paid @ 1 1/2x

-13,737 -GRAND TOTAL (no including other little stuff)

How does it feel to make $14k less per year? It sucks.

You should be greatful that you''re not a Part-time FSC in New York City, Average Price of a 2BR Home is 400K. A two bedroom apartment in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens goes for $1600-1800 a month rent. Triple everything for Manhattan.

So enjoy life in your trailor-park, Bags.

You can make up the difference Bagging groceries at the local Piggley-Wiggley.

Doesn''t AA still prohibit outside employment?

Bags, yes, it does suck. And I do sympathize; when I was furloughed I went from $34K+ a year at AA to my present job at $22K a year, so I know what it is like to make those personal budget cuts.

But you can get through this. You still have your job, you''re not having to hunt for one and try to figure out how to feed your family, keep a roof over their heads, etc. with no money coming in.

Somebody else has it as a .sig line around here, but I will steal it for the moment. "Tomorrow, the sun will rise." Hang in there, OK?
