COMAIR is going DOWN!!

[damnflyboy]

(5 years overdue contract signed) + (Performance numbers met/exceeded) = Zero CRJ 900's for ASA


It's all about the outbidding.

I remember US Airways putting furloughed pilots into the left seat of Republic 170's and Chautauqua 145's. Delta should work out a deal to do the same to Shuttle America 175's if Delta does furlough. Obviously, Republic's union would have to be involved, but it has been done before. Might as well do it again since the Delta Shuttle is blatantly being replaced with 175's. They are not even trying to sugar coat that one.

Yeah but the Delta pilots voted in outsourcing of larger aircraft to outside vendors. They didn't learn from last time. They knew full well this could happen. Who cares if they get furloughed.

Careful these comments won't help you as pilot, only stenghtens managements attempts to divide. You are right we are fully responsible for our scope. If not for our fight to keep major flying and pay scales many would never start a career in becoming an airline pilot. If not for the majors, I for one would never had worked for so many years with the attitude that all I want is to work for commuter pay and work rules. Could that have been all I ever had....Yup. Doesn't mean that's what I would have wanted from the get go. So go ahead and bash us and don't care. I am quite sure that was what you dreamed you would say years ago when you started.

Alpa Sucks!!!

The MEC Chairman was invited by Delta a few weeks ago to attend a session in L.A. and they (Delta) paid his expenses. Of course this was re: Delta's merger with NW. We are more than likely going to merge with Mesaba.

Even if that's true (I'd call it a definite maybe), that hardly means we won't see any more cuts, either pre- or post-merger.

 

[tiffanytaylor]

Unfortunately you are right.

No really, I really don't care. I'm not part of the Delta/DCI network anymore. I can say with full honesty that those who continued to vote to give away scope are absolute morons and that you should not expect any special treatment at other companies if it happens to you. You left the regionals for a major, you voted away scope, you rolled the dice. Now live with your decisions.

 

[Scope out RJ's]

Delta is going to furlough sometime after the New Year. The caveat is that any company that has 76 seat planes will be required to allow furloughed Delta guys to flow back into those left seats. I bet none of the management types told you guys about that in regards to those shiny new planes.

Hey kid, stick to x-box and your ipod. Its quite obvious that you have no clue what you're talking about.

Oh I see from your cessna time your left the airlines. I'm sorry I should have looked at your ac experience. Didn't make it huh? Well at least you tried. To be specific you were never a part of Delta. Good ridden cupcake.

BTW why are on AIRLINE forums....can't let go?

I see from your posts in the Fractional Forums that you work out of South Bend Indiana for a manufacturing co....you have an interest in being a professional pilot.

Now I can see why you don't care about guys getting furloughed from the airlines....misery loves company.

BTW I would rather be furloughed Delta than a failure like you. Please tell me how all the years in the regionals all you ever wanted was to go corporate. Have people done it? Yup. From reading your other posts I can tell that isn't the case.

You need to read the context of that post again. Try not to make too many assumptions, it makes your intelligence level seem a little low. There are plenty of ex-Delta and other major/legacy pilots where I work now. I'm not sure why you don't like me. I'm merely pointing out that your pilot group decided they didn't want to fly those little 76-seaters. You should be jumping for joy that your pilots won't have to fly those planes.

Man, what a crazy industry. To think if I got hired on to Comair a year ago, I'd be in no better shape now. Seems like you just can't win with this career path unless you get very lucky. I'm sorry to hear about all these bad Comair news and I really feel for all the pilots out there. Best of luck to all! I wish I could give you all a million dollars.

Prez today for Comair stated that the total additional reduction for ALL of 2009 will be 1.5%. I don't think that=100% with would equal "going down". Merry Christmas everyone.
