Comair to Cancun!

Just saw this on the DOT site.

Maybe ASA will get to do some from ATL or DFW. Would be great if it was an overnight!

 

[sleepy]

ASA will make it a CDO with 6 hours on the ground.

 

[General Lee]

That will be a long flight---usually with a 738 or 757/767 with movies or TV reruns. I know---atleast we will still have year-round service from CVG....Right? Right.

Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[CRJ puppy]

It will be 7 day a week service out of CVG (year 'round) vs. Sat. only, as is currently operating. Equipment to be CR7 and possibly CR1's once a day with 2 flights on Sat. all operated by CMR. Delta is asking the gov't to ask Mexico if it can allow an exemption to the treaty to permit DAL to still operate mainline equipment vs. the CR7 on Saturdays and other times as needed. Additonally, ASA is losing the Monterrey turn out of ATL on May 1st...it goes to CMR also. Don't know why ASA is losing so many of its international flights out of ATL to CMR. But then again, DL never shows us the "big picture"...it must sure be pretty!

OOps!

Sory, didn't see the earlier post on this same subject.

Will this be the only way to get to Cancun now or will there still be an ATL - CUN?

 

[sleepy]

Comair, there they go again, taking our jobs.

 

[General Lee]

Tim,

I doubt DL would give up the ATL-CUN flight---It will probably go to a 757 from a 767 in the Summer. (or maybe a 738)

Bye Bye---General Lee

WOW you have to love this industry. One day you think your set after all the hardwork and sacrifice, then the next day your asking your self the ? happened. I still cant figure out why some pilots actually think what is going on is our (the pilots doing).!!! What is happening with more regionals taking mainline flying is 110% mainline MGT Doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not regionals pilots doing so layoff. I wish it wasnt happening because working for a major is the dream, but when Mainline MGT controls the flying you cant do anything about it.

I hear upon Retirement at most airlines you get two gifts....

1. an 8" x 10" of the big picture

2. A list of all the FA's that would have slept with you if you just would have asked

I fly for ASA. It's one regional stealing jobs from another (while they are in contract talks, and thus helping management protect themselves from a strike, after we supoported that same airline during their strike, and they won't hire furloughed DAL pilots, who also supported them during their strike). Nice bunch of folks there at Comair.

I'm not sure that I follow the logic of saying that Comair is stealing jobs from ASA. One could just as easily say that ASA tried to steal Comair jobs by moving ATRs to CVG and flying routes previously flown by Comair planes. It's not like the pilots of either airline are calling the shots.

 

[Nindiri]

Of course, it wouldn't hurt if you Comair guys would stop complaining so much on the ops freq in ATL. It gets kind of old, and it's not like it's going to change anything.

[General Lee]

I remember that line---what a great movie---"you can do it!" or was it "You can take our routes!!" ??? (just jokin---this is all a management decision.

I looked in the Delta Sched and it shows ASA flight numbers in May fro ATL-MTY, where did you get your info?

 

[shamrock]

I'm not speaking for the majority at ASA, but as far as I'm concerned Comair can have MTY. All I ask is we get Toronto back!

 

[WorldSeries]

Here we go again, pilots who actually think that pilots from other airlines are the ones to blame for how there airlines company management controls there flying. The pilots at Comair have no control over what routes they fly, and its funny how other pilots actually think we do. I dont think that when a Comair pilots goes to work they say to Management hey lets fly more in ATL and SLC and take over more of ASA, SKYWEST. Dude whatever The pilots at Comair, ASA, CHQ, SKYWEST have no direct control over what routes are being flown!!!!!!!!!!!!! All they control is thier own unions bargaining power to get better contracts etc. So pilots please direct your frustration at the right person your own airlines managment not your fellow pilots.

GO WHALERS

OK sleepy, i'll bite. Exactly how are we stealing from you?

Do you think each month we ask DAL to give us your routes or something? I know our increasing prescence in ATL can't be much fun for you to watch, but i guarantee the majority of our pilots would much rather have a base in DFW than ATL. (I am an admitted exception, since i live in ATL) Did we accuse ASA of stealing our jobs when you got the DFW base that had been promised to us? if you think we're in ATL by choice, you're dead wrong.

this year ASA is getting 13 CR7s, we're getting 8. so you're going to hire more pilots. and yet we're stealing your jobs. so, how many pilots are on furlough because of us?

obviously, DAL management is preparing for the possibility of an ASA strike. Take TLH for example, all of us fly in there, DAL, ASA, CMR, CHQ, SKW. Why? to limit the impact of a strike. but if you strike, it'll still cripple DFW and ATL from a capacity standpoint.

But if you want to believe CMR is out to get you, well, it's a free country...
