Unverified, but I have been told that the ramp guy got "run over" by the jet way. Sounds like he is hurt pretty bad, but not life threatening.

I hate to say it, but this just goes to show how negative working environments can affect safety. With the current track record here at Comair I am surprised that their haven't been more accidents involving our crews. Be careful out there.

I sure hope he'll be ok. I can just imagine the pain.

I wonder how many of them will feel like making a personal statement to express their dissatisfaction with Comair/Delta?

How many of them will put family first this year?

Or how many will be having this conversation...

"I'm sorry I gotta work for the third Christmas in a row, honey. But I have to go! It's my job! Comair needs me! I'm a respected and critical part of the Comair team! Without me, hundreds of passengers will have a crummy Christmas and ignorantly blame it on Delta. I can't let that happen. If Comair doesn't keep our performance numbers up, Delta will lose faith in us and before you know it, we'll have Chautauqa, Skywest, ASA, Freedom, and Pinnacle coming into CVG and doing trips Comair couldn't do because I called in sick on Christmas! Remember how we got those Honey-Baked hams last year and two years ago? I owe a lot to Comair and you and the kids will just have to live with it. Now I have to go pack some PB&J sandwiches because no place will be open on Christmas. I have a hard day on the 29th so the kids can open presents then. You tell them the bad news. I'll see you in 6 days. Comair will make it up to us someday, I promise!"

I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery.

They are saying that she is retiring, but with everyone else in the CP office departing and the fact that she has been here quite a while I wouldn't doubt it.
