They get S3B! I guess it's one better than S3C? Better than nothing, though...

Really.

I think you and I had completely different furlough experiences.

I had full pass benefits.
I kept all of my manuals.
I kept my crew badge.
I jumped on other airlines.
I didn't have to pay the flight station anything.

I think those options should be available to everyone being furloughed now. Either way, its a nice victory in regards to the pass benefits.

First of all I'm talking merely about pass benefits. It was announced that people laid off were given for 3 months of pass benefits last time around, the reason you had them the full time was the furloughs only lasted about 3 months.

Last time I think they also gave 3 months of medical...after furlough.
As for the Flightstation, I know guys who didn't get a last check as the full balance was taken out.

So does this mean only WE can use our travel benefits, or this still work as they do now with the travel companion and buddy passes?

I would just give the pass bureau a call to get that info. They may not have even ironed out the details yet.

Yeah, don't get me wrong . . . I guess I kind of spouted off a bit. I just used your post as a springboard for all the furlough benefits/non-benefits conversation I have read over the last month.

I think one thing that happened last furlough was that there were differences in the furlough procedures between the bases. It just goes to show how much Comair doesn't know what they are doing.

I called the travel bureau a few weeks about this and they deferred me over to the CP's office. All of our travel partners can continue to travel. I'm giving out my buddy passes like crazy the last week. My parents and I are flying doing some traveling too. Gotta use them all up and I'm definitely S2ing on any flight I that looks questionable.

well, i guess its good that we are getting extended pass benifits. although all it says is comair and delta operated aircraft... which really meens only delta, because comair isnt going to be flying anywhere next year.

also i like how in the email it states that the 'company' has been working on it, nothing about the union. sounds like union busting 101
