Comair MEC

[acarpe3448]

I almost think it would be unsafe to put a Delta pilot with an ego larger than the state of Texas on a flight deck with a Comair pilot. Comair should have allowed you Delta guys to have preferential hiring. You guys should have kept your Delta seniority for when you were recalled at Delta, but while you would have been at Comair you should have come in at the BOTTOM at First Year Pay. With every other carrier when you get preferential hiring you start at the bottom, not at your seniority on their pay scale. Hey, this sounds familiar.........Delta pilots, kids, getting on Comair aircraft before Comair employees.

As a local to the Cincinnati area and a Delta customer for the past 17 years, I hope DELTA AIR LINES gets theirs! Delta Air Lines is the Saddam Hussein of the airlines industry. They have done nothing but screw over their customers and even their employees.

Coorect me if I am wrong, but first year Comair pay at the bottom of the list is where they would have been.

There are plenty of people with large egos here (OH)

All pilots have an ego to some extent, but I have yet to meet a Delta pilot that doesn't think he/she is God.

Amen to that!!

 

[doh]

That is a different spin on the story! I had not heard that. Good insight on your part.

I have posted what I told them several times on this board. And I told that to every Delta crew I jumpseated with. We had a chance to B slap management and we let them sucker us into a needless bloodbath. Yet another of the 400 reasons I'm glad to be a frac jockey!

Wow. This guy A$$carpe is a very sad dude. He has spent this much of his life crusading about an event that happened 7 years ago. This guy is a total loser.

Eact opposite from me. I know a couple and they are good guys/girls to have a drink with.

I am not crusading anything. I spend very little time posting this. So go F&&& yourself!

 

[samballs]

This still makes my blood boil. Luckily Comair took a historic fall and is now one step above Mesa. Lawson can suck it now.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Best thing is dl is one step behind.

WTF is reep?

As long as you want to bring up history, March 2001: Thanks for the strike checks.... oh, that's right every other airline pilots sent checks except for ONE ~ Delta. I take that back, there was one Delta pilot who sent in a check. One! And for the record, a majority of Comair pilots voiced their opinion to JC on this matter and he tried to use the DL furloughs as negotiation chips with DALPA anyway.

You're a big A-hole for even trudging this up.

Well that one Delta pilot must have been me, I sent in two checks from my own bank account in addition to voting in favor of assessments, I also gave a striking CMR pilot, who I never personally knew, my buddy passes so that relatives could attend his wedding.

I think the rest of your spin is total BS, what check did the pilots from UAL, AAA, AWA, NWA send? Oh that's right, it came in the form of strike benefits from day one, just like the DAL pilots sent.

 

[Scope out RJ's]

The point is that your MEC used the different hiring criteria as a case in why there isn't sufficient operational integration for a PID....

You mean your attempt at a seniority snag?
See the problem Joey is that guys like yourself and some of the other girls from the rjdc that have busted checkrides, dui's and no college made them undesirable, thus non Delta qualified.
But you did ok, huh? Bought and paid for your job through the PFT program at ASA! Just too bad your background was in question.

The CMR hiring criteria required resigning seniority and YOUR MEC said that DAL/CMR/ASA are separate and that the separate hiring criteria proved that...You reep what you sow.....

You sure are, how long before you girls sue Skywest inc.? You'll be just a memory in Skywest's portfolio before you know it. How many of furlough at ASA? Are you picking up open time? Are you and the rest of the rjdc helping out the furloughees?

The DAL MEC likes asking for help when it needs it...but it never does anything for anyone else.....Midwest Express is just the latest example....What have they done for them?

What the DMEC was responding to was extortion by the rjdc. You lost, you failed. You're stuck at a going away regional. But hey, at least you can know that the rjdc will be held with the same kind of esteem that the group of guys who took jobs at Continental back in the 80's!

Seven years ago? Holy crap! It seems like just yesterday that I was arguing with Fins and Joey about this absolute abomination.

..Midwest Express is just the latest example....What have they done for them?

What exactly were they supposed to do for them? It's not exactly like hiring is taking place to give them preference.

To echo another thread on another board. It's 2009. Bush got re-elected for a 2nd term, but we now have a black president. GM is now called Government Motors and they still build crap cars. Michael Jackson died. Oh yeah, the economy tanked and Delta bought Northwest.

Youa are so full of crap. There is no way we were dumb enough to give Bush a second term!!
