Attention Mesaba kids:

Just heard from someone at the G/O that CVG is going, going, gone very soon. Stand by for another displacement/base closing bid.

Let the good times roll!

Meeting with Big Wigs and all CVG employees on Wednesday, 10/12, 9:30pm. Wonder what it's about... Barkeep! Another beer please. No, I mean another pitcher.

Any XJers make it to the meeting in CVG tonight?

I'm wondering what was said, although I'm pretty sure I can figure out the jist of it unfortunately.

 

[xjlifer]

"we need to stay focused on running an efficient airline so that we can prove to our only customer NWA that..blah blah blah"

Or some variation of that tired old song.

Is that for real? Is it official? If so, when?

Thanks.

Thanks. Sounds like another "Crew Planning Special."

I wonder what they plan on doing with the Taj Ma-hangar down there. Once again, money well spent.

Man that sucks. I've been through that crap cycle, back when they closed CWA. Too bad we didn't win the grievance over what they did to us, then maybe you guys wouldn't have to face the pain of being crew scheduling's toys for a month. Document everything: every call, every assingment. It will come in handy if they screw it up and you guys need to file a grievance.

 

[scabseeker]

wha happened?

Anyone at the meeting tonight that can give more of a detailed description of what happened?


CVG closed? Moving everyone to other bases?

 

[big shacks]

XJ no longer in CVG next month. All flying done by NWA / 9E including new servive to MEM. Maybe the hangar can be used for the XJ refugees.
Thumbs up to crews in CVG had a great time.

Does that include all the mx guys there too? Did they say how they plan on getting out of the lease of the hangar? So absolutely no XJ flights to/from CVG?

 

[Mesabi Miner]

Word is that the hangar will be around for a while so they can re-engine the AVRO's before they're returned to the leasor (sp).

Wow, what a quarter!

How many crews are there in CVG? What is the total number of people involved? Where do you think these people will end up?

Good luck to you guys.

I have a bad feeling this thread is going to get hijacked by the Comair folks. That is a low comment, I know...
