I just went to the apple store and showed them my Comair ID. If you are a student, sometimes that discount can be more or less than the Delta discount depending on which Mac product that you buy. I bought from the store in the Kenwood Mall in Cincy. Just told them that I was a Delta employee and showed them my badge. Pretty much a non-event. If you want to order online you can access the discount by going through sparkfly and clicking on the Apple discount which will take you into the applestore online with your discount already shown.

Not sure what that mess above is, but I would advise everyone not to click on any of the links. I wouldn't trust it.

The start of another day at Comair with only RR reserves available at JFK! This company has no clue on how to plan one day ahead. What happens when all the RR's are done and no reserves are available to cover a sick call or a commuter clause?

They start abusing lineholders at 1.5X pay.

Management is thinking, since we are understaffed and we are using every single person on reserve every day and junior a few people at 1.5X the pay, lets furloughed more people.

There is no doubt in my mind that we will see more furloughs in August or September. I would look for that to be announced probably some time in June or July. Just my guess. I would also imagine that Delta is timing the parking of MD-80's or DC9's around that time as well. We will have fall trickle down in hours + overall travel being down. Now add to that all of the public that is getting freaked out over the "too tired and inexperienced" regional airline pilots and I see numbers drastically reducing until things change.

I don't think the public gives a flying toot about most of this. They go on Delta.com and buy a ticket, not caring and 99.9% not even realizing that they'll be flying on a regional. You're giving the flying public too much credit on their perception skills, and too much emphasis on whether or not they're going to give a crap.

I don't doubt that there will be more furloughs, unless something drastic happens, but at the same time the DC9's and MD80's going away probably wouldn't be horrible for us..as the routes wont ALL go away, and they'd probably be looking to just reduce capacity a bit on some of the antiquated NWA DC9 routes.
