Chautauqua and ASA Class acts

[PositiveRate]

Gen Lee,

I understand that Jmorgan might have been bitter that going back to Comair wasn't an option...regardless, I have a problem with anyone lashing out at our pilot group for an issue that was never in (or close to) the hands of the line pilots.

Understandably some negativity gets displaced onto our pilot group, but the consistency of it begs the question...do we want pilots here that 1) don't really want to be here and 2) don't much care for Comair? Don't discount this as a possible reason why there hasn't been a call to arms to help out the delta guys.

Even with all the animosity on these boards (never actually experienced it in person), I still think we should have said yes to bringing on furloughees, no strings attached...I've been furloughed and I know how much it suck$. We're all part of the Delta family whether we like it or not and should help out our own. I've said my peace. I'll be exiting this thread as well.

It is good to see that some pilots don't approve in their MEC's opinion that Delta furloughs should give up their senority numbers. Sidseal and C425Driver are correct ----what would it hurt them if Delta furloughs would be hired below them and fly the crappier trips? It really is just a slap in the face---expecially since ASA allows it and they are identical to Comair---right?


1) $10,000 training cost for a non- loyal employee

We are pinching pennies evey day at Comair to save your airline. Why would we double our training costs for an employee that is going to leave over the next 5 years. Cost Cost Cost plain and simple.


good luck
