Increased Comair Fulough Numbers

[clarkwgriswald]

According to the DO/CP, Comair now intends to furlough 350 pilots. Currently no measures to mitigate these numbers are in place such as voluntary furloughs, early outs etc. Apparently these require union approval/participation of which there has been none.

B/S flag! Where are these numbers coming from!?

If the Chief Pilots are saying this ... then I believe it to be further posturing by management against the MEC for breaking contact with the company a week or so ago.

Each side is trying to put more pressure on the other and unfortunately the junior pilots at Comair are the ones that will take the hit.

I guess it is back in the Union's court now. It will be interesting to see if they come back to the "table".

This is very unfortunate! When I get out of this mess which I hope is sooner than later, it will be so nice to not have to worry about union/company polititics.

Recurrent, just passing along the message.

 

[PA44Jockey]

Don't you love how the chiefs go into recurrent and leak stuff. They know that people will leave that class and run out and tell everyone, or put posts like this one on a message board. That is exactly what they want. Depending on how many recurrents you have gone through, look back at all of the things that SB or DS have told you in that class and compare that to what you see today.

Thats great news!

From my experience, most of the crappy stuff they say, seems to be right on the money. Most of the "sunshine" they share not so much.

Thats great news!

Lame, really. You get no points for originality.

That is good news! Not trying for originality!

 

[McNugget]

Whatever it is you're trying for, either quit or try harder.

That's funny, I just saw one of the reps yesterday and they were saying more like 210.

That's BS. I was in recurrent yesterday and SB (DO/CP) told us the exact opposite!!! He said they met with the Union and cleared up the problems they had and admitted that the Co had "yolk on their face". He said the problem was a mess that was leftover by parties on both sides that are no longer there (JCL & MP). And of course DS didn't make matters any better when he started stamping his feet.

He said the Union was currently putting together a plan for furlough mitigation. The company and the union were both open to COLAs, Part-Time, and Early Out buyouts. He said they were going to meet again next week to go over the Union's plan.

thats great you find out more from SB in recurrent then from our own union. Simple email update would be nice.

 

[CRJ puppy]

Yes. Especially since the union msg board is STILL shut down...

That isn't the way to make friends in your own union no matter what a few Dumba$$es have done...

Why would the Union want to talk to us?

 

[DX Rick]

Thats great news!

One day you'll find yourself in a pool of your own blood and will never be able to obtain a medical every again.
Practice your used car salesman lines asap.

Now, how can stereo-type a whole pilot group!? That is truly retarded. Burn in hell I say!

I certainly do not question that he may have told you that. I'm simply posting what he told our class today. I'm not saying either one is true, just relaying what was said. I hope the version he gave you is correct.

And S. Brin... told my recurrent class a few months ago that eAbortion...I mean eMastreo would be hard coded to comply with all contract limits. We all know that it is not even close to that, so if it comes from the horses a$$ then it can't be true.
