Comair Gets Axed In Half

[Av8rPHX]

No, answer the question smart man! So I suppose everyone hired up to 1999 will keep their damn jobs... You suck

Seriously, you supposedly work for an airline on the ramp, and you dont know how DOH works? As someone pointed out, 2002 is 3 years after 1999, so that would ,make them junior to someone hired earlier than that, which in turn means they would be let go...are ya following me? (obviously that was a ballpark figure not factoring in attrition but you get the drift)

I've heard from two reliable sources @ SkyW that they are in talks of buying Comair. But the way SkyW operates is that they'll wait for the Co to shut down and acquire the assets and then offer interviews to everyone on the street. Just plain sucks. Good luck to all of you!!!

Baja.

1999 = Job

2002 = No Job

2002 - 1999 = 3 years difference

Suppose 12 - 9, how much is the answer?

Kinda like they did with ASA?

Oh, wait...

Seriously, , I have to know, how old are you? I would guess you don't even have a job in aviation, and I know you aren't at CX. If you do have a job in aviation, and you are just getting your jollies, then I will leave you with this: "Karma is a b!tch".

Comair already held the line. Now Delta is making them pay.

Can ALPA get a cut of that pay? We want YOUR money.

How can any business have a big announcement about recalls one week and then cut itself in half the next- unbelievable-Would someone like to help me write a book about Comair-Who remembers the day they flew the Embraer into CVG for all the employees to see. Said there were more on the way if they took wage concessions, they did. the plane took off, never to return again. Just one of many stories I am sure

Yeah, and in 2008, announcing hiring of 450+ pilots and a 15 new CRJ-900 a/c. Ooooh....sorry...those are going somewhere else. No more hiring. Hey, let's furlough 300 instead. Inhumane.

I don't work the ramp. I'm a flight attendant with Comair. That was just to throw people off in my profile. Yes, me and my hubby will be furloughed. He's looking for a new job as we speak. So am I. He is a 50 seat f/o.

If you're talking about me I'm a flight attendant at OH, if you're quoting the other guy/gal, he's right in his post.

 

[fugghedabowdit]

The way Comair has been run for the past 10-12 years is pretty much a case study in how to lose friends and irritate people. How the people who run that place sleep at night is beyond me.

 

[Always deferred]

My thoughts go out to the Comair folks. I know how you feel. I went through this with ACA/FLYI. THe only encouragement I can offer is that this could be the opportunity for you to look into other avenues. After my furlough, I took a position at an aerospace association in DC, then onto a lucrative career as an FAA inspector making much more than I would have at the airlines and having a great lifestyle. There are many opportunities for people with airline experience, but you have to have an open mind and really network to understand. For those of you looking for more stability, I offer the following:

www.aia-aerospace.org, www.usajobs.gov, www.ntsb.gov, www.mitre.org, www.alpa.org. You would be surprised at the opportunities, especially if you have a safety background. And please feel free to shoot me a message and I'll do what I can to help point you in the right direction.

Best of luck to all

So like, he quotes a user named CX880 and asks him if he works at CX and you think the insult is directed at YOU?

 

[livin'thesim]

I think that tiffany is asking whether likely attrition would result in a 2002 hire being furloughed.

My suspicion is that it will be close. A lot of senior guys will bail.


Also, you can collect unemployment when voluntarily FURLOUGHED. If you think about it for a bit, it makes sense.

How do you know I'm not at CX? because I don't have a big shinny picture of the 747 on my avatar? Can I assume that you went to Riddle? It's FI, why so serious? You don't know what 12-9 is? Just use your fingers.
