Comair posted another furlough list tonight. Nothing we didn't expect, but it's the fact that they sent it out the night before Thanksgiving.
I'm not one of the guys who thinks the company does vindictive and tried to personally piss the pilots off.
But this is crap. Have some tact. Pay the guy to come into work Friday for 10 minutes and send the email out.
We've got another 30 pilots to be furloughed according to their 120 announced. I bet that one will come out on Christmas Eve.
 
I really hope there will be some good news for you guys with the passing of the new year... something's gotta give.

Pretty rotten timing on the announcement though... someone has a case of cranial-rectal insertion on that one.

Sources say that if DAL hires in the interim while Comair has furloughed pilots, that Comair pilots will be allowed to interview and be hired at DAL without giving up their furloughed spot at Comair. DAL pilots realize that the pilots being furloughed at Comair had nothing to do with the vindictive and nearsighted pilots at Comair post 9/11.
 
Well, you should be thankful, you have a week extra now to search for a job. They want you guys out asap otherwise there is no reason to give out a furlough notice months ahead of time.

Hmmm... I didn't know Delta pilots dictated Delta hiring policies, nor did I know that Comair pilots were responsible for hiring at their airline.

You really are "full of luv" aren't ya?
 
Full of LUV,

I hate to see guys getting furloughed but that did make me laugh and you can thank JC for that joke!
 
With all these furloughs (and I'm assuming the associated scale-back in flying) which company is picking up the flying? I would certainly hope not another ALPA carrier...

The 14 or 15 -900's that were to come to Comair, were redirected to Mesaba. Not sure if they're ALPA or not.
