On the main page, where it says "Search for Someone By Name" enter S.B.'s name in there and start reading. Look at the bottom of S.B.'s Summary right above S.B.'s Specialties.

I seriously doubt it's him, but does he think Comair will be around for him to be CEO anytime in the forseeable future?

This is public knowledge and you don't have to start an account to read it.

I agree with the previous poster that said this meeting might be about something other than JS getting axed. The last time I was at a meeting in the Cafe was when Fred announced the Bankruptcy. I don't think they would have company wide meetings to tell us that JS is gone. Nor do I think they would have a company celebration to announce new Soap on a Rope. If they did hold a celebration meeting that DS was our new CEO I bet there would be pilots that literally walk up to him and hand them their badges.

My thoughts,

Comair being merged with Compass.

Compass and Mesaba being merged and Comair loses all 50 seat flying. Then closes the doors and the 70/90 aircraft go to new said "Cosaba."

Comair closing the doors on Jan 1

I doubt a merge of the pilot groups would happen this soon.

I would venture to say a merging of the internal operations (Dispatch, Scheduling, etc) of each regional would be more likely. Integration of the pilot groups takes lots of time with negotiations. However, non-union groups like anyone in the SOCC could be reduced to a more appropriate level first to take advantage of the immediate associated cost savings.

If they merger the internal operations, ALPA can push for a single carrier petition. I dont know if they will but they should!!

ALPA right now is shivering in their boots thinking about the thought of merging Mesaba, Compass and Comair. Can you imagine the merger of the seniority list and the trouble that would cause.

How would you like to be an 8 year Comair FO and have to sit next to a two year Compass or Mesaba Captain.

I don't think it will ever happen, but I have been wrong before.

That's exactly how they did it last year when Borhhorst resigned...in the GO's cafeteria.

Not that I know the answer or anything...just sayin'. I guess we'll all know in about 2 hours.

Attached is the previously sent memorandum from Jxx Rxxxx, director of Corporate Compensation and Benefits, with the complete details around annual enrollment.

Employees may contact the Benefits team by phone at (859) 767-xxxx or via e-mail at [email protected] with any questions.

Thank you,
Corporate Communications


That's odd. If we make no changes our coverage will remain the same for 2008.

I guess we get squat for 2009, right?
There are a lot of idiots working over in the GO in planning positions (in case you haven't noticed).

Any time there is a yearly notice put out (vacation bidding is always a good one) it is obvious they just pull up the letter from last year and change some, but not all, of the dates and redistribute it. Always seems to make it a mess.

No prob p1ayn... just thought I'd help fill the gap since ftrpilot isn't around to weigh in on these kind of issues.
