How many people would quit Comair if commuting was not allowed?

rumrunner

A lot, yet how could it be enforced without providing some compensation for adjusted cost of living?

Damn, that is when Dr. Phil is on. I guess I'll have to miss it. I better listen to Bendoveragain, because I'm sure he will have some brand new information that hasn't been discussed or answered before....

go pull up the JFK FO reserve list for the past 3 days...

today's request will get you this message


No Crewmembers on Reserve for base 'JFK', fleet 'CRJ', position 'FO' and date '16Jun09'.

they finally did it. They are perfectly staffed as long as they dont cancel a flight today!! Way to go comair. I wonder if we will all get an e-mail about how great of a day this was for everyone!!

Went to the meeting this morning at the GO. The crowd was a lively bunch.(Extreme amount of sarcasm!) Bendo started out right of the bat about nonrev bennies and read the letter from RA. It was a touching letter. He joked about trying to oulast his predecessors.( He must read this forum.) Went over performance numbers. Everything was over goal except for A14. Profit sharing next month should be the biggest so far looking at 6%! (Believe it when I see it!) Still no word on fall schedule, but expect some reductions. No furloughs or more voluntary packagages at the GO. They had over 380 from the last round. Expect more pilot furloughs. Won't have a number till the schedule come out. Will work to keep the numbers to a minimum. Working on a 4 year business plan which should be complete soon (Sometime 1st qtr next year), just waiting on merger completion which should be around the same time. Three more lease returns for the year. Will continue to return aircraft when leases are up. if we get no new flying we should bottom out at 80 aircraft since we own the remaining 50 seater and the leases are not due on the CRJ7 and CRJ9's for a quite a while. New crewroom in JFK. F/A's will get old crewroom. Comair's data center will most likely move to MSP and share space with McDonald's data center. Possible new MRO customer and incresed business from Mesaba. Won't grow MRO to the size like Delta Tech Ops. Costs are down comparable to other DCI carriers if not a bit lower, but not the cheapest. Pilots still the most expensive labor group and looking to work on when contract negotiations begin. That's it in a nutshell.

such a promising outlook from the leader, although i do appreciate his honesty

H46Bubba

From all the talks and e-mails I've had with him, he's a pretty straight shooter; no sugar coating the truth. Not like the Vage and all his "everything will be fine....do not look at the man behind the curtain!"

BlueMoon

Bring it! I'm ready to walk right now, let alone entertain a pay-cut.

Close it up, shut off the lights, put it to sleep...no concessions.

what a surprise he said "expect more furloughs". Atleast Bendo is being honest. I'm regretting leaving my first airline more and more each day ughhhh

The Chow

How can he be working on a 4 year plan when they dont even know whats happening in the fall?
