Comair's New President/Other Questions

[staylow]

What about the letter put out by the Comair MEC. In this letter the union said that they felt there were significant safety issues with Comair hiring Delta pilots without a senority number resignation. Ok, fine! The letter went on to state that if Delta would ease or eliminate our scope clause that the safety issue would not be a factor and the Comair pilots would agree to Delta furloughs being hired without giving up their senority numbers. The Comaier pilots were trying their best to get more airplanes for themselves, and bigger and better paying airplanes for themselves at the expense of Delta pilots. This letter is a fact! What is the Comair pilot's thaughts on that issue!

Damn brother, you have got to let this go...I promise when you get furloughed again from Big D when the whole Delta/NWA merger pans out, I will vote "yes" to hiring Delta furloughees. You have my vote.

Asscarpe. I have been known to hold a grudge but what you're doing is not a healthy thing. You need to find a better way to spend your life my friend.

I was at Clownair as well during this whole ordeal and could not believe the morons in the union went the direction they did. Why would ANYONE agree to give up their seniority at a major to work in the regional sector?!

Drop the whole our mec their mec crap.

Fact: Comair screwed up the best thing they had going for them... Favor within DAL

Bendo is there to clean up house and get ready for the For Sale sign to be placed in the front yard. or for complete dismantlement just ask the NWA mechanics

50 seat flying is like 1900 flying in the past, Pax hate the airplanes, CASM is high RASM is low. Don't forget there are alot of furloughs that got into management in Super Delta and didn't forget when they were looking for work Comair didn't step up

As far as a Comair- Mesaba- Compass three way.... thats not gonna happen Comair costs are out of the picture, Mesaba/Compass Holdings are low, there is no way that a merger like that will go through

I wish ya'll the best. I know getting shafted by a company sucks been there a few times....

We're all agreeing around the same thing. I also was a Comair pilot at the time actively involved in the union. Trust me, this was blown way out of proportion and was nothing more than a PR battle between DALPA and Council 37.

This isn't even a conversation nowadays, but looking at all the posts pointing toward some kind of conspiracy I feel obligated to chime in.

I was a part of the Comair Flight Operations Management team at that point and was there when this was on the table.

The decision was made in house by internal management. The union didn't have anything to do with the decision, it was done for business reasons.

Believe me, management wanted to hire them all back, but without long term commitments, it wasn't going to happen due to the state of the business.

There was no conspiracy here.
