Comair to furlough another 120 pilots

[PA44Jockey]

We built the ship Comair to fly the sky so blue . They thought they had a ship that the water wouldn't go through. It was on the main trip where the snowball hit the ship. It was sad when the great ship went down.It was sad.It was sad.It was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of the, husbands and wives, little children lost their lives. It was sad when the great ship went down."

Mesaba getting another Comair aircraft, Pinnacle getting more aircraft and Comair shrinking. Hmm I wonder what they are doing.

 

[Flying Illini]

Sorry to hear this. Good luck to the Comair guys/gals.

Not so sure about pinnacle getting more aircraft. I would doubt that very much. We are just baby sitting a couple until they go to Mesaba.

Well there's two out of ten most commonly used words on FI. Scumbag, Bottom Feeders.

Lets see...Next up, "threw up in my mouth a little".

I just threw up a little in my mouth

 

[Ridgeback]

Where is the source that Mesaba is getting any of these?

Where is the source that Mesaba is getting any of these?

Both Comair company memo and email from MEC Chair said yesterday CRJ700 #14 was being reassigned to Mesaba.

 

[superfreight208]

I think I am going to apply to Mesaba, or Pinnacle before this place goes down!!

You mean CRJ900 #14.

Sucks to be the Comair guys. You guys try to raise the bar, only to be stabbed in the back by every other regional, especially RAH.
But hey, it takes a special person to fly the "Guppy Killer".

Yeah tell that to the Mesaba guys.

 

[V-1]

Yeah tell that to the Mesaba guys.

I agree with your sentiment. Mesaba is, and always has been a class act. They've had their turn to be abused at the hands of their mainline partner, and they are due for some recovery.

For reasons that can only be speculated, Delta continues to make the decision to shrink Comair. So be it.

Just keep in mind when Comair management brags about how great a job everyone is doing putting up record consecutive completion days that in the end these metrics are rewarded only with continued reduction of fleet size and staffing.

Well that's your first problem buddy. You never ever NOT EVER listen to what management says. :laugh:
But seriously, sorry that Comair is getting giggitied in their gishmoiguen.

 

[DX Rick]

Just wait. Pay cuts are next.

Yeah - America sucks. Hate good healthy competition and the free-market. Damn. Too bad we pilots are not entitled to everything we could ever imagine while the rest of the world is lucky to have a one decent meal and earn their $1 a day.

How it's it HEALTHY to undercut another company, by agreeing to fly a bigger airplane for cheaper?

 

[pilotguy143]

Burn it down!

You may be just saying this comment in general which is fine, but I just want to point out that Mesaba pilots have never undercutted any company or gutted our contract to get any type of flying from another company.

V-1 and Simon - too bad the facts will ALWAYS be lost on the masses.

Best of luck to all of those at Comair.

 

[PA44Jockey]

Management agrees that moral at Comair is low right now so they are offering FREE lunch today to increase it.

Don't worry, Capt Pride. You'll be earning your one dollar a day in due time...all under the "Healthy Competition" mantra.

Enlighten me...for real! I have always been educated on fact and fiction at most of the regionals. Since the 2000 strike at Comair, I have always had a soft spot for Comair and those guys taught me quite a bit.

So, what are the facts with Mesaba undercutting? Careful though...I come armed with facts from Mesaba, and quite a bit of hear say from other airlines.

Comair pilots being furloughed, while another , lower paying airline enjoys growth at their expense! Where have I seen this scenario before! Good news Comair, I saw in the paper that unemployment benefits are avilable longer than anytime since the 1980s. Your gonna need it! Maybe history won't repeat itself at Comair in the future! Go RJDC!!!!!! What a joke,.

you such an ass. Every comair pilot that is getting hurt by this wasnt even around when the whole rjdc thing went down. In fact every delta pilot was called back to work before any comair guy getting furloughed was even hired.

acarpe/sterile ... whatever your name is:

I'm really sorry that some Comair guy had a menage a trois with your mother and sister. Who could turn down two fat chicks at once?

I can't think of any other reason you'd be so full of such contempt for guys that were hired long after the RJDC ordeal.

Your weak minded tirades are boring. It's clear that you have anger issues and will someday piss off the wrong person. I pity you.
