I only had one more thing to add to my last statement, if the staff including the OCMs are making a lot of money, couldn't they have cut their pay a little? I just don't think it's fair that 80 employees should lose their jobs like this during the worst time of the year when the holidays are literally around the corner and they have to scramble to find another job.

I doubt that highly EXCEPT in Dave's case. He'd either have to go and get his degree in meteorology, or find another field of work because he's not an actual meteorologists. But the other two should have no problem finding work again.
Dave is, actually; TWC wouldn't label an OCM as a meteorologist if he wasn't an actually meteorologist. :no:

He's not, actually. He only completed TWC's apprentice program. He has no degree.  :no:

I guess completing the apprentice program is enough to qualify him as a met in TWC's eyes.

Hahahahaha. Matt (Marron) is such an ass. He just made a huge fool of himself. In his big-headedness he thinks I'm telling people that this is all factual. He doesn't realize that I'm talking to a man who is a former TWC employee and is still ocnnected with many people there, including upper management.

I hope people get tired of his shit and leave.  <_<

I'm telling him the truth and he's not buying it.

Great! The more foolish he looks, the better for me. I hope he makes himself look like an asshole in the eyes of every member and guest that browses that forum today.

Anyway, to get us back on track, Dave does have a certificate in Broadcast Meteorology, much like Kristin Dodd.

And he's on Weather Center right now.

And that's not a degree.  :thumbsup:

Hmm...I wonder when these doggone layoffs take affect?  :thinking:

Hmm, apparently I never got around to talking about the certificate more due to being distracted by Dave being on the air, but yeah, a Certificate is pretty darn insignificant in a world where so many people have degrees, even though I'm sure Dave is plenty more qualified than some of those people.

And damn, Dave is being funnier than he's been in a long time. :wacko:

Exactly. With so many mets having degrees, a Certificate is not much weight.

Well..at least if today's his last day he'll go out with a bang!  :rofl:

Remember - Dave will be back at 8 PM ET for the first hour of Evening Edition, which could be his last hour on TWC; you never know.
