Right sizing sounds right

A little over reaction to that post?

The poster was trying only to interject some rational thought into a thread filled with fairly far fetched rumors.

Someting from the APC board by two people who are not rumor mongers at all:

Agree on the relax thing, but Spoilers and I are hearing the same stuff. Soap/Gump was the first of two shoes to fall. Next shoe will fall this week. Something about Delta announcing that Comair needs to be "right-sized" a lot more. Embrace the Suck.

So far all the right-sizing has been in management position. Have you ever thought that might be the case. And why you only take the bad rumors from apc not the good like the additional flying from rdu and dca?

Because the lease expires on some of our 50-seaters and Delta doesn't want our 50 seaters anymore. Go back to the APC board and scroll back a few pages. Did you just get off furlough? So what we have extra flying..it doesn't mean the Company won't downsize a bit more. Are you ready for a massive paycut come negotiation time? I'll strike before I take another paycut.
 
It's not as if flying for Comair is really all that to be excited about anymore in any case. They'd be doing a lot of people favors by closing the doors...even if it didn't seem like that initially.

Steve B will be annoucing his departure on Sept 10th.

Where might Stevie B. be going. Just curious as I don't see him applying to another flying job where he would need to seek the help of people he stepped on for years when he was CP.

Is there still going to be some announcement tomorrow 9/1? It's not that I believe all the negative rumors, but there is more going against us than for us. Like I said, this place is getting to me, trying to find a new job, no luck so far.

I agree with you and I'm not trying to be mean-spirited in any way to fellow Comair people. I just happen to agree with V-1's post.

Nor did I intend for it to be directed towards the professionals at Comair. It is a shame the way Delta has turned that airline into a circus since they bought it.

Such, however, is the right of an owner.
 
Rumor about bad news tomorrow. A guy named playn over at APC spoke with Comair's President. It ain't looking good folks.:(

Here is a rumor I picked up yesterday. I am reluctant to post it becuase I do not want to be viewed as lending credence to it's actually taking place. I am just passing this along. Rumors abound and I have even heard a version of this one before, so...

We supposedly hear Sept. 1, Wednesday... the "big announcement" that we are sold and the buyer only wants 50 of our planes. This obviously brings up the question will the pilots (basically 500, only half of the list) go with the planes? If... IF this is true, than I imagine it is a moot point for most of us posting on here as we will be on the street either way.

Again, I hear that this is "solid." But, so were the other rumors and announcement dates that never come to pass. One thing is for sure, Delta is trying to sell Comair. How do I know? Because Richard Andersen said and I quote, "we want to sell Comair."

But to be slightly positive, this announcement in a way would not surprise me at all and I am still holding out for an announcement that no one has even talked about yet.... like Comair was bought with stimulus money and will crop dust tobacco fields in Kentucky. Time will tell.

At last a bit of humor amongs all this doom and gloom.

Another one named Spoilers posted something close to it but not in so many exact words, also Boomer. Like I said, those two do not seem the negative, rumor mongering type. playn seems kind of new there I don't know.

Sounds like he/she was talking to SB. If there's no big, bad announcement and Comair remains the same or gets better, we will have to just sit back and laugh at all this nonsense, if it indeed is that. Interesting the Company may not offer part-time to f/as when they were considering it awhile ago. All the part-timers have to come back full-time if not offered. I haven't heard rumors on this level and so consistent in a long time, but maybe I've been living under a rock but I'm in the same sinking ship we are all in unless someone plugs the damn hole.
