If this is ugly now, I wonder how it's going to be on our next contract negotiation (if there is a Comair).

The only reason one would need to talk to MM is to get the contract read wrong and done so very loudly....

Let's see...

60 hr. min line value / 17 workdays = 3.53 hours of credit per day to hit min line value

or presently (I believe set to expire in a few months and revert back to 82 hours for lineholders):

76 / 20 = 3.8 hours of credit per day

So the company is asking for yet another concession that will allow them to build more trips with even less productivity?

No thanks. How about those in management do their job and grow (or at least stabilize) the company by pursuing/creating opportunities beyond the Delta network?

I forgot...that would require more talent than the budget can hire.

Now, if the company wanted to offer a part time option with a min line value of say 35-40 hours or so, that might work. Those senior who want more time off and have more important things to do than work for Comair could take advantage of that, pilots who can't hold a full time schedule would be spared a furlough by filling the part time positions not taken by more senior pilots, and the entire pilot group wouldn't be looking at a third pay cut.

That seems the most equitable by far, though the administrative costs would probably make this a non-starter.

A portion of the roof of the Northgate mall was blown off and they closed the mall. A friend just called and said that all of the windows at the Florence Post Office on Turfway are blown out.

Glad I got the hell out of there after my trip ended.

I wonder how many people are pushing back from the gate and sitting on groundstops to CVG right now. A little of their own profit sharing.

Yes the better team won last night, as a Buckeye backer, I am ashamed, however, with that said, we look forward to the Michigan/OSU game.

The wind does make you feel like you never left Florida, the ready made meals, days without power, cold water showers and still having to fly, people trying to break into your apartment at night in SANFORD/LAKE MARY Wal mart out of everything, no gas...........ahhhh the memories.

Well within limits. They need to man up.
