I am former ACA as well. I went over there several months after being furloughed from here in 2001. Then I was furloughed from ACA in 11/03. Recalled here a week later.

Personally I found it amazing how quickly ACA's management was able to put themselves right out of business. 4500 jobs sacrificed for the sake of being able to give the finger to United (who had kept them in business for 14 years). Well done Skeen/Moore.

Also check out http://www.ridgelines.org I had some of the best time at ACA. Pete I totally agree with what you are saying. TM and KS took what was a good place to work and f-ed it all up. When ACA was UEX and DLC life was good, but flyI was a bad mistake from the start.

Sorry it took me forever to find this post.

I was with Pete at ORD. Furloughed here 10/01, hired there 6/02, furloughed there 12/03 recalled here 01/04... amazing how it all worked out.

I started in BTV on the ramp for ACJet, yup I was a 30XXX number then transfered to ORD-OPS and I was the honery pissed off guy on the other end of the radio sticking a/c in the penality box for the usualy "20min"
