The difference is that we are owned by DAL. That is much differnet than being owned by Midwest Airlines.jobear said:What about the flying your taking from DAL? I bet General Lee would like in on this one.

Thanks for having a good attitude. I will apologize for the whore and get what you pay for statements. I actually don't know much about Skyway, although I think I got some of my twin time from one of your pilots. But you have to see it from the Comair pilot's position. We went on strike to better ourselves and the industry, and since then we have seen ACA, CHQ, and now you guys move into our territory. We were offered planes for paycuts, and we held the line. We are profitable, yet we don't get the planes. I think we feel our "peers," as you stated, haven't done much to help us or the regional airline industry. At every turn we are underbid by pilots who will fly 70 seaters for low-end 50 seat rates...etc. That's why we are bitter.WillFlyFoCookie said:Thanks for clarifying what you meant JetPilot_Mike. I do understand better how you feel now.
You're right about the super seniority. Upgrade is about 6 months and maybe even less.

It is from the latin phrase, "mootis hemorrhoidis", meaning to speak from one's arssholius.
Let's see, about 55% of the pilots are junior to me, and I didn't pay for training. We have a ton of really senior people. I'm not sure when PFT started, but I'll say maybe 25% paid. Not overwhelming. I totally agree. We should have, and hopefully did, offer to negotiate 32 seat pay rates. As far as DALPA and the 70 seaters, DALPA never wanted to fly the 70 seater...well, until now that is.metroplex said:How many Comair guys bought a job by pay for training several years ago.......? If you ask for 50 seat rates to fly a 32 seat airplane you are just not competitive. sorry. I bet DAL pilots appreciate you comair guys flying 70 seats....
