Comair Furloughing 300

[4got2flare]

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.

Bob and Puff , you two are like two gay lovers having a fight in the middle of the street. You want everybody watching to know which one has the bigger set of balls. Fact is you both are covering up for some other shortcomings. It is funny to watch from the sidelines.

Do you want to go out sometime?

 

[PuffDriver]

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.

 

[acarpe3448]

I have an opinion too. I think you're one of the most vile, pathetic pieces of garbage I've ever encountered. Clearly, your parents were colossal failure

You are s to have a child as disgusting as you are.

You are free to your opinion! Thanks

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.

 

[vectorflyer]

Does anyone know what hire date this goes to yet?

 

[CRJ puppy]

No. No exact numbers of furloughs yet from the company other than the "doom and gloom" memo from the VP of flight Ops (300 pilots, 225 FA's).

Results of Sept "COLA's" and the 149 captain displacement bid haven't been released yet, so exact furloughs haven't been announced and probably won't until next month sometime.

Expect it to be a lot less than the "doom and gloom" letter...(the company loves to be melodramatic with both negative and positive news).

Tchau!

 

[McNugget]

Flight Options is hiring, according to Options_Slave!

 

[acarpe3448]

You're a bitter jerk.

Thank You have a nice day! Comair $ucks! Let em go down in flames!

 

[Big Foot]

Correct me if I am wrong but dont they have to issue WARN letters that give 60 days notice?

 

[stratus72]

You are welcome to have your opinion! I have mine! Yes indeed I am glad to see Comair shrinking, and furloughing. Blame it on your senior guys or ones that have left, but if we go back to reading posts that were up during our furlough at Delta you will find that Comair pilots did EVERYTHING they could to screw us over. They faught for one list, they faught to keep furloughed pilots from Comair, and then they said that if Delta dropped their scope(bigger 0planes for Comair pilots) than the concern about hiring furloughs would just disappear! Then the whole stupid RJDC crap. This pilot group are scumbags, and self serving. I could care less what you think about my opinion, I have just been waiting for this day to come! The offer still stands to help any of these guys navigate the unemployment nightmare, or one of them can come clean my pool! I'll even pay more per hour than Comair was paying them!

As a former Comair pilot I can tell you most of us had no issue with the Delta pilots. Infact, EVERYONE I associated with, did not endorse the RJDC and welcomed furloughed Delta pilots on property..any furloughed pilots for that matter. I did not support the minority who wanted the RJDC nor did i support many of the decision our MEC made. You are clearly one angry individual who needs to move on with life. I wish not only the Comair pilots all the best, but Delta too. You guys are by no means outof the woods. Oh yeah, "Scumbag?" HA, ha, I'd love to see you say that to even one Comair pilots face. Hiding behind this electronic world of flightinfo. I think you are the scumbag....nah, more like a Pu$$y.

 

[Broke in CVG]

Correct me if I am wrong but dont they have to issue WARN letters that give 60 days notice?

No, WARN letters only have to be given if a certain percentage of the workforce is effected. The CP told us yesterday that since the FAs managed to get 200 Part Timers, etc that the number of people (ie pilots) is less than the required percentage of workforce. His response was that they could furlough tomorrow if they wanted to.

I volunteer to clean your pool for free, as long as you are home so I can kick your ass!

Ok Mr. Big bucks, I will bet you the purse of your choosing that we/DAL, NWA, Northwest, or the combined entity will not furlough in the next 18 months. Put up or shut time big mouth. Not only can you win some $$ and bragging rights,

Can I get in on that action?

 

[DX Rick]

It's Thursday 7:30PM, have you heard from your MEC?

If you work for Delta then you should understand how wholly owned work. Comair is just a puppet and Mother Delta controls it. Delta decided to not help your furloughs out. DELTA OWNS COMAIR. DELTA CONTROLS COMAIR!
