That link shows the overall moral at the company and also says that they are accepting resumes. Hmmmm. This should make for a fun day of reading.
Must be old even though it says it's current.

I personally know of 10 more that are going to sign. About half and half between early out and 6 month Cola's. All around the 5 and 6 year marks. I wonder though for those guys that want the colas how this will work. They will have to offer colas, early outs and voluntary furloughs at specific times. Else you would have guys take a 2 month COLA and avoid a furlough, then come back to work after two months while guys senior to them would be furloughed. Something tells me those 6 month COLAs are going to be very senior.

If the proposed situation goes through where regionals would require 1500 hours and an ATP imagine what that would do to Comair. I have heard there are a bunch of things on the table that could go through. No CD's, Max 12 hour duty day, Max duty in 7 and 30 day periods, Min 10 hours rest and more. Could you imagine what would happen to the productivity at Comair. With all of the 4+ hour sits and consistent 13 hour duty days they would have to call back a lot of furloughed guys. They would be forced to build productive trips. Possibly even give them an ATP ride. Two feds so far have said possible ruling within 30 days an airlines would have to comply within 120 days. Would cost a ton of money, but I think it's about time and I hope it all passes for the sake of returning the profession to the amount of respect it deserves.
All regionals would be almost created equal. There wouldn't be a race to the bottom anymore and in fact the companies would have to create places that are desirable to work and that is the only way they will attract new pilots when the time comes.

I wonder if we will be grandfathered in. I guess if the law says they cannot "hire" folks with less than ATP mins, that would not apply to folks that already have a SN number.

Yep. Even though I am a bit short of the new proposed mins, I think it will help in stopping the 'race to the bottom'.

Like I just read on the other thread, if you don't have a college degree now is the time to get one. That will be the next thing coming.
