Why do so many live in fear of becoming "the next Comair"? You work for a publicly traded company that is not owned by Delta. Skw Inc. has to keep your flying, stay profitable, and make it's shareholders happy. They won't negotiate themselves in to a money losing pilot contract no matter how hard we push them to. Delta could do whatever they wanted with Comair. They don't have as much control over Skw/ASA... Stop being afraid. It's affecting your paycheck.
It's not SKYW I'm concerned about, it's DAL (and UAL) deciding they would rather have cheap than experienced, because they never let the passengers know (we're not allowed to say our name on the PA), and never have to deal with the consequences. (What Continental flight crashed? That was some other tiny airline you've never heard of!)
That being said, I don't care how many concessions we agree to, we'll never be able to compete with any startup airline, especially when the majors don't give a dam about quality or loyalty.
By the way, is anyone perhaps less concerned about saving Delta's precious fuel budget now that they've thrown us under the bus with the Gojets deal? It seems sometimes there are unintended consequences when you kick people who work for you.
