Did anyone hear anything from the union about the recent furloughs, I did not get anything. Not even an email. We pay union dues all year long, but not even an email from the union offering any type of help or support. I know that the furlough representative is going to be furloughed. You would think the union would assign some else to help. What a waste of money.

Guys go check EPIC. There's a memo from Planning there. What I gather is this, I will not expect to be called back next year. Those of you still in, I wish you luck. Those of you getting furlough in Jan, I'm sorry. It was fun. Good luck to all!.

Did anyone watch the local news last night? It really wasn't anything new, but I noticed when they were talking about Delta's 2009 reductions it was said that Delta would be getting rid of it's routes that are the most fuel insufficient. Is that directed right at the 50 seat aircraft?

In December, JFK block hours spiked, exceeding 6,300 hours for the month. "In 2009, JFK will
settle between 5,000-5,500 hours a month, requiring approximately 115 CRJ crews. In CVG,
excluding January, the base will maintain approximately 12,000 hours and 260 crews. The CR7/9
block hours will hover around 8,000 hours and require 155 crews."
115 + 260 + 155 = 530 crews
530*2 = 1060 pilots
there you have it fellas
Comair will be at 1000 pilots

Nothing new in that Memo. It is clear that the furloughes are going to last for 2 years or more. Good luck to all.

From the Memo on Epic Today:
"This is what happened yesterday when 51 pilot sick
calls were reported, representing a 37 percent increase over the daily average. Additionally,
December 1 is part of the monthly transition, which this month had a significant impact because of
substantial schedule changes and the fact that winter block times are used compared to the fall block
times that transition trips are built with. With all of this facing the Comair team, you still managed
to not cancel any flights due to crew shortages, and we avoided involuntarily junior man situations. "
I guess this question is directed towards those of you that follow the staffing grids and such.
How do we have all these people call in sick, end up short staffed, manage NOT to cancel flights AND "avoid involuntary j.m. situations"?
Is this an indication of how many people are willing to pick up open time or is there another way they got these flights covered?
