agree and disagree
heavy,
the intelligence of your comment regarding the lack of sucess of the Comair strike is as ignorant as your inability to craft a meaningful analogy.
If 500 Comair pilots were furloughed there is no way in Hades we would want new hire Chautauqua jobs, especially when the only reason we would be theoretically furloughed in the first place would be because of Chautauqua's willingness to fly the same size equipment as us on the same routes for considerably less.
Sure, let's furlough a junior RJ captain here at Comair and then negotiate a deal where he can slide on over to Chautauqua as a new hire FO as a show of solidarity! Right.
That being said, I for one don't have a problem with general Lee's opinions and I agree with him the majority of the time. So he's crass at times. So what. He's still dead on ballz accurate about most things. I for one support the return of the furloughed Delta pilots to the cockpit as quickly as possible. Although I think coming to the bottom of Comair's list as a temp job was a cop out by the Delta MEC for lack of a any real solution (only 10 or 15 would have even done it in the first place) I still supported the Delta MEC's requested resolution (at a minimum) as a show of solidarity with our Delta family brethern.
Lawson may have screwed the junior half of the Comair pilots who wanted at least the option of maybe going to Delta someday, and for that I'm sure he and his envious cronies who always hated to see a young "punk" unfairly "jump ahead" of them on their way to Delta are happy. But look on the bright side, he never intended on being a new hire Delta FO anyway, and at least this way he still has his inherited millions. The blackball of the rank and file Comair pilots from ever going to Delta is just a well thought out bonus.
