After seeing this tread grow and grow by the minute, it makes me feel worse that the Comair MEC didnt offer pref. hiring for the DAL furloughlees with open arms. But when they made that decision it was them, the few Comair MEC members, not all 1600 Comair Pilots. You can argue and say the"Comair MEC represents all Comair pilots" which they do when we vote on an issue or at least can speak our opinons prior to something IMPORTANT being decieded. When the decision was made by Comair MEC to not offer pref. hiring, there wasnt anything memtioned to the Comair Pilot group prior, no memo put out saying "we are meeting with DAL MEC about pref. hiring asking us to give our ideas and opinions about that subject". Most Comair pilots heard about this meeting after the fact, and for me I heard about it on this website. ASA MEC did the right thing, Comairs MEC so far hasnt, but to say to all the Comiar pilots that wanted the DAL furloughees to get hired at comair, you have no chance of going to DAL now, seems like a large stereotype put on the whole pilot group. I know it doesnt matter how many DAL furloughess would actually go to comair, more importanly its the thought that counts for the offer, but to stereotype a whole pilot group over an issue that so far only 13 DAL Furloughees have taken advantage over at ASA, how important is it. I guess when the Comair pilots get hired at NWA, AA, CAL, SWA, UPS, FEDEX, UAL?, JB and not DAL we will find out, even thou the vast majority of opions where not spoke at the 1st DAL -Comair MEC. Cant we just all get along, I thought Pilots where suppossed to be friends???
