Comair Reaps What They Sow

[V-1]

Just thought I'd pass along the following:

Over thirty pilots resigned last month...including approximately 19 Captains. The floodgates are opening.

Congratulations and best wishes to all who've moved on to better things. Good luck to those who still remain.

Me thinks they shouldn't have cancelled that new-hire class! Just wait 'till the FAs start bailing like crazy!!

Tomorrows the big 1113c decision day. Supposedly

 

[N813CA]

Good maybe I will upgrade in the next 10 years!!!!

 

[doh]

Straight from the chief pilot's office. 25 a month bailing! Including me as soon as I get a class date! Yes I got the job offer.

Yeah, now you guys will start seeing what a good idea those pay cuts were. As soon as those flight attendants vote in their T/A and start making $13,000/year then our pay cuts become effective and we'll be on our way to job security!! I think I understand D'angelos logic now. If work conditions become unattractive enough, senior people will quit so he can upgrade faster.

Don't be cruel..

At no point in your rambling, did you even come close to an intelligent thought. I award you no points, may God have mercy on your soul.

$13,000...?

Shows just how ignorant the vast majority of the public is. The worst part is that you're perfectly happy in your ignorance. You make pilots look so good!

What's Lawson and Company have to say about all this? I've heard he's in witness protection...

 

[fugghedabowdit]

I sort of believe that rampant attrition is expected and desired. Even with our new Mesa-esque payrates, we're still more expensive due to seniority. Until an average CA has been here 2 years or so, management will not be satisfied.

 

[Prop2Jet]

Who cares about the public. You are mistaken if you believe they care about how much we as pilots make. The problem is from within...

LAwson was actually doing recurrent ground at the same time I was last week. He was very quiet.

Sweet quote, but I prefer " Veronica Vaughn, sooooo hot want to touch the hiney"

That was my first thought, as well. I don't doubt that this is exactly the outcome Comair and Big Delta management had in mind.
