Oh man, just saw it on the website. I guess we know what the meeting was all about now...

This doesn't sound like good news for either side....

You guys are going to be impressed with the crewroom accomodations in ATL. :laugh:

 

[i'mbatman]

Nothing on the union site or our company site about this....I call BS on this but I have been wrong in the past...

Where to start ripping this apart????

1. Funny it is dated the 3rd and posted on FlightInfo before it is on the company website.
2. Why would there be no backfilling of any upgraded positions?
3. If I go to the electronic base bid sheet, neither CVG or ATL are listed.

Why would someone post this? As if the people at COMAIR do not have enough to worry about. If this is actually posted tomorrow on the company website, I will retract this statement. But right now, I think it is cruel.

Interesting. Could this possibly be the flightinfo equivalent of a prank call? I know: It's BB and Fred (or tools thereof) trying to keep us at each other's throats so we can continue to do their work for them.

 

[IFlyFL410]

I second that notion....FLAMEBAIT more than likely, but I'll still retain my earlier post regardless.

 

[Corbon]

Looks like someone got "creative" (if that's the word for it) with the LGA/STL additions which is on the company site.

 

[SlapShot]

You say "creative" I say has too much free time on their hands. Perhaps they should pick up some open time if thats the case.

It was posted only for a brief while, shortly before 10 PM EST, about 5 minutes after seeing it, it was removed. I'm guessing crew planning put it up as a mistake, as it was dated for feb. 3. I would expect it to be up first thing in the morning. Appears to be yet another standard CHQ mishap.
