Kind of funny. They violate our contract every day, lay-off 250+ pilots, move half the company to JFK, and JM people...and nothing happens.

Pass benefits get changed...all hell breaks loose.

I think even using the term "back of the bus treatment" kind of stupid...there is no way this can be compared to the oppressiveness of segregation.

And the biggest problem. This company did nothing to try to mitigate furloughs. They cut straight to the chase. Thanks Comair!! I'm really enjoying my new home!

I've been hearing a rumor around the SOCC that a bunch of Comair pilots/employees complained to RA himself about the new nonrev bennies and RA told Bendo to keep his people in check.

If this is true, it makes me laugh. Everything I ever thought about RA....justified.

On a side note, did anybody else read the ALPA email today? They make it sound as though a recall is probable.

All the ALPA message mentioned was that the MEC proposed recalling furloughed pilots to help staffing in which they saw an issue arising from inappropiate staffing levels. Management did not act on this.

Why do people still think they are gonna recall? They don't care if the completion gets down to 80% it gives them a reason to park more planes and say comair sucks. Somebody gets off on this stuff. Things won't get better till the pilot group comes together and stops thinking about themselves. I just went through Add/Drop just for FOs and there were 10 people that either picked up open time or tried for May. Most tried a few times also.

I don't want recalls because I don't wanna go back. I would make more money sadly going back but I don't want to.

I appreciate the fact that you do not want to go back to Comair. But not wanting a recall that affects 297 other pilots because you don’t feel like working is very selfish. I hope I misunderstood what you are intending to say.
