Don't waste time looking for a response from n2264j. He's too busy filling out job application forms.:laugh:
His dream of becoming a millionaire 777 captain got shattered by a frivilous lawsuit.

A lot of people dropped the ball in regards to DL furloughees. Fortunately for the furloughees ASA picked up the ball. As a result there have been a disproportionate number of ASA pilots hired at DL since 2007.

This doesn't change the fact that Lawson took advantage of Delta furloughs in a cynical attempt to weaken Delta's scope, instead of helping them out.

He played a short game when he should have looked past his own retirement. He could be remembered as the man who bridged the gap. Instead his legacy will forever be one of unnecessary pain.

Oh sure, empty gestures, pandering and window dressing beats out substance every time at ALPA. It's all about the image.



Someone would have had to offset the training costs of putting Delta furloughees, who had no intention of making Comair a career, in Comair seats plus whatever scheduling burdens might come to the Comair pilot group from numerous furloughees a month being called back to mainline, which manifests itself as junior manning and extentions. The fact is that because Comair was a wholly owned subsidiary, the Delta MEC could have gone to Delta management and bought that policy change themselves but they didn't want to.

What goes unsaid is that all ALPA furloughees were welcomed at Comair. I've flown with United and US Airways furloughees who didn't seem to have a hard-on about being here. The only pilot group that suffered from the much ballyhooed righteous indignation are the Delta pilots who seemed to have this "birthright" sense of entitlement to our seats.

The Delta pilots made it very clear to us during the merger petition in 2000, that we were separate companies. They got what they wanted yet they're the ones screaming the loudest about it.

All in with a pair of two's doesn't always pan out for you.

The fact is, if a Comair pilot fits the profile, Delta will hire you. The disadvantage comes from Delta picking up all the training events if they hire a Comair pilot - ie training at mainline, training a replacement at Comair (two evolutions if they hire a Comair captain). If they hire an ASA pilot, however, they're only paying for one training evolution at mainline so the Comair pilot has to score more points in the interview to justify the added expense.

But I'm sure management sincerely appreciates the help of Delta pilots in driving wedges in a pilot group preparing for Section 6. Really, you guys have no moral authority to lecture anyone about what's disgusting in a union.

Refresh my memory...What did the Delta MEC do for the Eastern pilots who were out of work while Delta picked up their former routes?

Maybe if you guys weren't so set on doh you would not be in a different place today.

Fail. Try again.

I like my place just fine on the this side of the airport.

I like my place just fine on the this side of the airport.

I hope so. :erm:

I wouldn't count on that either. :erm:

 

[PuffDriver]

Success, you're such a loser!

YAWN!!!!!!! Keep trying. You'll come up with a good one someday.

If you're flying for a frac, you have bigger things to worry about than the demise of comair.
