Has anyone realized that the average age of new hires at Comair are in their mid to low 20's. Do you realize that you are taking pleasure in an individual getting furloughed who is at the beginning of a tough enough career yet was in Middle School/High School during the conflicts of 2001/2002.

I have to question some individuals judgement and moral fiber as well as their professionalism in the cockpit if these are the attitudes that they carry around on a daily basis.
 
You name it. Your hiring department is already telling newhires that they're probably going to be furloughed before they show up for class. And who at Delta is making $350k a year? The last Captain I talked to made $140 last year. Pre-9/11 sure. But after losing your pension, and the pay cuts, I'm not buying it. Unless your widebody guys really make 2 and a half more than your narrowbody guys. Looking at APC, it says max pay is $191/ hr for 12 year 777 Captain. Embellishing a bit, are we?

As for pu$$y name calling, you guys are the rectums that are coming in here gloating that some newhires on foodstamps are losing their jobs. And you make all these wild claims, and you haven't backed up any of them. And it's hysterical that you're still here. You've said repeatedly that you don't care about this thread because it's now a "Regional" thread and it's below you. Tell you what tough guy, send me a pm, and we'll no longer be anonymous. But I know you won't. 90% of you Delta guys are gutless wonders.

Only 90% of us? Wow, we must be getting braver.

I made 350K last year, and so did he. End of story. You are wrong. The "hiring department", we know it as human resources, is not telling new hires anything, because we are not hiring and have not been hiring for a few months now. What some departments ARE saying, however, is that there is a pretty good chance that we will be hiring in the fall. You are wrong, again. I came to this thread via the majors board, to correct misinformation--primarily put our by you--and to offer condolences. You've blown it out of the water via flame throwing, misinformation, and outright lies. There will be no furloughs at Delta, NWA, or the combined entity for at least 24 months following DCC--that's date of corporate closure since you probably don't know that either. You lose on this front as well. Let's see, that brings your "batting average" up to...carry the one, carry the 2..oh yeah, zero.

I'll leave you to brag more about your f/o salary, your exemplary command of the flaming english language, and your hopes that Delta furloughs in the next 18 months. You bore me with your tripe. Save face and admit you were wrong about every single thing with regards to our little exchange here, or think up one hellacious slam for the road. Tough guess as to which one you'll choose. Pathetic.
 
J.H.C. Can we, honestly, get past this kind of crap already.... Comair didn't hire Delta furloughees, 2002 ASA newhires were overheard in the DFW terminal celebrating all the "new flying" they were getting while mainline Delta guys were hitting the street, American was flowing down to Eagle far in excess of those who flowed up, American was bending over TWA as well now that I think about it.. the industry pretty well sucked for several years. Then it got back on it's feet.... finally... for about 9 months.... and here we go again.
(Not directed at FmrFreightDog, just quoting for context.)
What is always conveniently forgotten by the Mainline folks is that when they got hungry enough they were willing to "accecpt" jobs at the (growing, some would say evil) regionals--thereby exaserbating the "problem" and delaying their own recall to the Mainline. That's always been an inconsistency nobody can explain away...

I know what it's like to have to do "whatever it takes" to pay the bills...but remember, the job you took to keep the roof over your head and food on the table had the unintended consequence of slowing down the growth and restabilization of your "real" job.

I'm not judging...just observing.

Some posters on this thread (cough acarpe cough) are too dumb to realize these simple facts. Scary, isn't it?
 
A true class act you are. You are too stupid or too arrogant to realize the average line pilot at Comair would have cared less if they hired a furloughed Delta pilot back in 2001/2002. It was the distasteful act of a few on the MEC that ruined it for everybody. Same with the RJDC. Only a few not the entire pilot group went with the RJDC.

To wish and say you are glad one airline is furloughing is truly unbelievable. The average line pilot at Comair was not out to screw anybody. With an attitude like yours I am sure the man above will take care of you accordingly.

You may be surprised when the furloughed Comair pilot comes over to clean your pool because your dumba$$ just drowned. He was just hired by the County Coroner and is there to clean you bloated butt up. Karma does exist and it will take care of you soon enough.

I agree with you in theory. But if you beat a dog while their down, you can expect some to bite and others to flee.

I was at the starting pointg of my job with Delta when I was furloughed for nearly three years. Meanwhile, Comair got more and more a/c, had more and more upgrades, flew more more of Delta's mainline flying. This was also the time Comair pilots, fought to end our scope protection and fought to keep Delta furloughs from flying at Comair, not to mention RJDC!~ Whats your point.

Some, definitely not all.

Delta's doing.

None of the guy's whose furloughs you are celebrating had anything to do with this.

~ Whats your point.

You're a bitter jerk.
