I've been commuting on comair a lot lately, and it has been awful. Havent been out or in on time in over a month. When chatting with the crew the terrible attitude is right out there for every one to see. I'm sure it's hard for those guys to have a good attitude with all their shrinkage, but sarcastic PAs are not the answer.

I think the best book that I have ever read. If you're looking for non-fiction you won't be able to put down this is it.

This is why I don't pick up green slips as a fellow commuter. I wouldn't recommend saying anything bad about our contract on this board. Some of our fellow pilots will recommend you apply elsewhere like Southwest.

They were bad a year ago. I know it is tough to have a positive attitude, but it can not be good for business to have that going on. A little birdie told me Pinnacle cancelled 400 flights a few weekends ago.

yes this is a new development and will have some fallout soon...

The good news is the 2nd and 4gen DUs for the 73N are not susceptible to the WIFI interference...

Yea, I noticed that. "If you don't like it, quit"...That's usually something you hear from a right-wing, union busting management type blathering on Faux News, and not from a good "trade unionist".

Truth be told, there's a lot of the SWA contract I don't want, and yet someone seems sold on the idea that pay rates is what it's all about. Not a whole lot of surprise, seeing as it's coming from the same group chorusing "you guys are getting a huge raise" during the merger...which turned out to be not really true.

In the past, most contract surveys I've been sent have included a really nice grid outlining all the important contract points...scope, compensation, hours of service, retirement, medical, etc... and a comparison with all of the other "peer" airlines.

It will be REALLY interesting to see who is considered our peers with the survey for 2012, if any.

What kind of PAs are you hearing? Asking cause I'm curious.

Way back in the bad days I heard one along the lines of "We know you have a choice in bankrupt airlines these days, and we appreciate you choosing ours"

Well...I think PG, or one of the other ALPA-rah-rah guys already commented that SWA is not a peer that we can compare ourselves to, nor are any of the cargo carriers. I guess DAL can afford to fly a/c without pax and cargo these days!
