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.

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.

Lame, really. You get no points for originality.
