12 of Comairs 70's going to Skywest

[BigLebowski]

Send them here and we'll have them in maint. 95% of the time they are on property. There's no way I'll fly a CA jet.

Oh please, have another one.
you're obviously ALPA with that ego.

That many years at any regional would put you in the lifer/loser category. Why didn't you get on with a major in the late 90s when they were hiring like crazy? I bet you don't have a four year degree.

Hello kettle met pot...

Yeah, then he could have been furloughed and come back at the bottom of the list at $19 an hour. Have you compared Delta or UA Fo pay lately with RJ captain rates?

The biggest aircraft in your profile is a CRJ700? And you're calling someone a loser?

 

[ILOVEBEER]

We are splitting the payrate, getting a raise. Not whores sir sir, not even close.

WRONG. The payrate has NOT been split. You will receive a block "override". That is all. If your block doesn't exceed your credit, you get paid the base rate.

 

[Alchemy]

Any chance Comair can keep the jets similair to what XJET did when CAL wanted to give 69 of their planes to chittytaco? I suppose being owned by Delta would preclude that possibility....

 

[Tarzan]

Delta owning the jets pretty much shoots that idea down as well as being a owned sub.

 

[Rogue5]

This is not correct. See Examples 1 & 2 at the end of the Pay Package proposal.

So whats JC got to say?

I told you guys 2 years ago this was coming, as I walked out the door. I hate to say it, but CMR is done. This is the 1st of a several give-aways. I look for CMR to be dismantled no later than 24 months from now....

Burn the place to the ground and leave with some dignity guys.

Yes I am in the Union we have what is called a closed shop. As far as any ego is concerned, I will not participate in this mess by flying a ComAir jet so you better believe that I'd do the best preflight on earth and let the jet sit. So if refusing to help sink this industry any further and screwing another pilot group is "having a big ego", consider my ego larger than several city blocks. Enjoy your quick upgrades because there won't be any place to go after you finish ruining this business. P.S.....enjoy Atlanta

That is what we call all bluff and no stuff. Kind of like the mainline guys that swore up and down they would never take a paycut, etc. lets face it this industry is rotten when it comes to job security. For regionals there is nosuch thing as job security. I very highly doubt ASA pilots will all refuse to fly the comair planes should they get them. No one turns down growth in this buisness. It is the only way to get some type of job security. That is our curse.

 

[Mookie]

No one turns down growth in this buisness.

Mesa and Freedom
TSA and GoJets
Chaniqua and Republic
AWAC and united

These airlines all turned down growth recently due to things such as major pay cuts and promises of alter ego carriers. Wow...all are union too!!!

All of those that voted yes for the 40/70/90 one rate, myself included, should be embarrassed at how low we took the bar in the fight for more growth. The bar will continue to be lowered and those that can't see the forest for the trees, will be sorrily dissapointed in the future.

Why bother with the facts with that tool? The guy has no concept of the outside world except for what he can see in his rose colored fog induced by that sweet, sweet Kool Aid.

Nice job, homeboi. How is the back holding up? Now if we could all just get a day off to get the usual suspects to play together somewhere. Give me a holla next time you are in la.

I don't blame the guy, he's ignorant. not stupid, but ignorant about what is going on in the rest of the industry. Many don't have the perspective that the other side may have, and I guarantee you very very few have ever received the dreaded furlough notice. Hell, no one else but us in IAH had ever had a base close down (pdx downsized...).

Deerkiller,

You are right...never thought you'd hear that from me, huh??? Until there is some sort of horrible thing happen over there, the guys who get their 8month upgrades are going to be happy and thus content. If the guy who makes $110K a year there thinks that's gonna continue while guys at GoJets are making 1/3 less to fly the same plane...then he will have to wait to see how it feels when at SW tailnumber is being flown by some new company and he has to now commute to some other base or get downgraded.

How's the short game?? dont' tell me...I can probably figure it out.

Fighting ignorance one day at a time, or as Ron white put it..."You can't fix stupid."
Mookie

"No one else but you in IAH ever had a base close"!? How about they closed Bakersfield, they closed Pocatello, they closed SGU, they closed Paso Robles, they closed Ontario as a co-domicile, they closed LAX, they closed Yuma, they closed then after a long time reopened Carlsbad as a co-domicile...yeah right only you in IAH!

I say we start by burning the MEC down (figuratively, of course). The NFL has no problems with getting rid of a losing coach, why do we?

 

[CFIT]

BTW the 700's are going to SkyWest but the next block of 200's will go to ASA, supposed to be 20 to 25 of them.
