You know I was thinking about this before, how the hell are they going to expect to deadhead everyone with only 4 flights a day to jfk. your right, there gonna need at least 5 shuttle flights a day.

So who updates the company profiles on APC? I love how they put a number on "anticipated" recalls in august when the company hasn't said a word about recalls other than they don't see the need to. Comair doesn't even know their flight schedule past august.

Maybe it's all about $$$, but why not offer TDY up to JFK? If this block hour increase is a temporary thing they could get takers to cover it short term. I for one would sit reserve in JFK with them paying for the hotel and perdiem 6 days at a time. Also, I am not sure this will result in a lot of deadheads for lineholders. There will be some, but I am thinking that a CVG trip will originate with something like CVG-DCA, BWI, etc and then continue with JFK out and backs for 4 days. As a reserve though I expect it to be a lot like this month, 76 hours of credit with 30 hours of block.

They won't offer TDY there, because JFK will be Comair's base. CVG will wither down to nothing and there will be no need for a Comair base in CVG. When that happens, everyone will be based in JFK (or the other "NE" base that has been rumored for the past two years. BOS?).

The Comair!
1 part Grenadine (the cheap stuff on the bottom)= junior FO's
2 parts Tequila = the stuff that numbs you so you don't care what's happening around you
1 part KY Gentlemen Bourbon = the GO (cheap and not very good, but still KY)
1 part Peychaud's Bitters = Senior pilots that will be displaced to JFK
1/2 oz. Everclear grain alcohol = Delta Air Lines
Mix:
Add Grenadine to glass
Lightly pour tequila and bourbon onto Grenadine, without disturbing the Grenadine.
Add Peychaud's Bitters
Add 1/2 oz. of Everclear to top of drink
With a match, ignite Everclear
You now have a Comair - a drink that puts a bad taste in your mouth, with a topper (Delta) that if left burning will consume the entire drink until there is nothing left

Sounds like a plan! I'm working on the ingredients for a new drink.
