You might not feel that way if you are the pilot being "wrongfully" punished and the predictions are right about Comair going under.
All of a sudden, you have to check "yes" to the question "Have you ever been taken off of flying status?" or "have you ever been disciplined by your employer?"

Here is one suggestion.
Nothing should ever get in the way of safety. Not politics or individual agendas. If we can't protect our pilots, our crews and our passengers, then we cease to live up to ALPA's Code of Ethics.

Unless I looked at it wrong, it seems CVG has no reserves (50 seat) for tomorrow (12/23)---not even RR's! Oh, and there is an over-abundance of Open Time available for this week which better not be picked up by anyone.....
Happy Holidays to all of our loyal customers!

That news piece mentioned nothing of the ASRS system that pilots CAN use to report safety issues. Granted, ASAP is a nice collaborative program to have, but I don't think our MEC would have abandoned it if you couldn't fill out a NASA form for the same purpose. It makes the pilot groups and management look like they have a blatant disregard for safety and that obviously isn't true. Many pilots are safe in the cockpit everyday and will never have to use a program like ASAP.

Lets see...
1) Airline "expert" with no pertinent information
2) Offers his opinions as if they were hard facts
3) Talks in absolutes, no gray area
4) A flair for the dramatic
I'd say he's "aviation expert" Michael Boyd's father.
