You have a number on the Comair ALPA seniority list. Our contract (which has a successorship clause) states that all pilots flying Comair aircraft (except the 6 aircraft on long-term loan to SkyWest, Pinnacle, and Mesaba, apparently) must be on the Comair ALPA seniority list. The only way to dissolve the furlough list is to get ALPA off property.

Or wait five years, I guess.

Someone pointed out yesterday that we lost our flight bennies because Delta said it would be too burdensome to bring Mesaba and Compass up to our level.

Now that it's just us and Delta again (just like the good 'ole days?) I would expect we will be getting our pass bennies back.

Delta will come up with a new excuse, but I still think ng4 should be asking the question.

Trail is wrong now and he'll be wrong at the end of the year when Comair is still here.

I push the vuvuzela button when certain people contribute to this thread as of late.

As a matter of protocol, I try to do more observing than posting. I usually feel like I have more to learn than contribute. Lately, however, the stupidity has been too hard to stomach.

You should be around the training center and listen to some of the crap people say...

I hope you're not talking about the all-knowing Boomer?

Oh hell naw. You were referencing the all-knowing Trailblazer. I was agreeing with you and would lump a few more into the mix.

Don't think Comair is going anywhere anytime soon. Just wait till we get cut loose in Detroit. I will bet a case of beer we will rise to the top in regards to performance numbers now that we will be out of JFK. We have been setup to fail being based at JFK for the last 5 years. I think we have performed pretty well despite the odds being stacked against us!
