Comair furloughs 210

[bob_sakamano]

One more thing you can do is to take the postage paid ALPA PAC envelopes and send a message to ALPA...ALPA has to pay the postage on it.....

I could be a real jackass and pay them in rolls of pennies in the PAC envelope. $17.50, postage due per envelope. Ha!

I hope you guys fare better that Comair, but that's not really saying much.

All hands, abandon ship. Time for the orchestra to start playing "Nearer My God To Thee"

Our only hope is that we were spun off.....Jerry is a sharp dude.....

Good luck to you and never forget how your "union brotherhood" took care of you....

Hopefully, the remaining Comair pilot group is strong enough to say "enough is enough" and do what is necessary.

There's nothing I can do but refuse to pay my outstanding ALPA assessments and encourage those with a vote.
.

The guys who have said "enough is enough" have left, or will be leaving.
They know the industry will not improve. They have no faith in ALPA and figured that there is no future or living to be made at the airlines anymore.
Pensions? HAHAHA! Only for the management.

Don't pay the assesment fee. Chances are you won't return to Comair or an ALPO carrier.
If that letter that AF sent out has any true to it, furloughed NWA guys will be flying our airplanes. But I have yet to see the write up, showing any truth to that. It won't suprise me if it's true.


Joe, all the regionals will be smart to vote ALPA off. We're doing nothing but undercutting each other to survive and ALPA does nothing to help.

All I've gotta say is I fly for Mesa and the "old" Comair guys that went on strike were the best of the best. They risked their jobs for improvement, bettering the industry at the time. Thanks guys!

 

[bob_sakamano]

Yeah, I don't plan on coming back to Comair. There's nothing left. No QOL, no character or spirit. If by some miracle there is a recall, I won't bite on a 7 year upgrade and 15 years to hold a line.

I couldn't face going to another regional and starting over again. I plan on staying overseas until the economy is good enough to find a decent corporate job.

Sad but true.
Comair is the new Mesa.

Several "good" regionals have been shut down before.....West Air, ACA, and Alleghany......Air Willy came close......XJT isn't far away either.....

In this business you don't want to be the highest cost operator.....

How about Golden West, Pacific Coast, Imperial, Desert Sun, etc...

Ford's memo was garbage. It went straight into the trash along with the 100% lapel pin.

Not doubting it, but where does he get all of his information? He has some pretty some accusations in that memo.

They're seriously handing those out? Where? What a joke. I guess they replace the Christmas ham.

He didn't provide any sources and I have been unable to find anywhere in the PWA of his accusation. He hates scope and wants to be able to underbid mainline for larger aircraft.

The pin was in our mailboxes...what a joke

If you're talking about the flowback that is forced on you if you take 900s....It's in the new DAL JPWA and it came from the NWA contract....It is very real.....

Please post it then.

Nice try! Maybe next time you check the facts.

We'll see if he can produce the facts.

And if just happens to be true, in every sense of the new definition of the word SCAB. This would make NWA pilots scabs, since they're flying furloughed work.
