Delta to ask for more pay cuts from Comair.

[rf285]

Perhaps Delta is trying to make Comair one of the 2 cheapest DCI carriers in order to stack the house against ASA and Skywest to open up their contract.

Not nice though.

 

[PA44Jockey]

We've had it for quite a while, but have not been able to get rid of it. The stadium would not let us get out of the contract before it was up. This is the last season on the contract. They've usually been able to sell off tickets to other entities, but due to the economy they didn't have many takers, so that's why they're offering tickets to the employees.

Not true. I have friends who work for the Bengals and this are definitely buyers for the suites. Try again.

Well ASA is already getting its act "in line" I guess. ASA twice announced the furloughs and expressed how hard it was for them to furlough the 136. But, assuming we place our 20 200s, PBS may keep the 136 ASA prisoners on the street come next summer; PBS saves the company money by reducing our need of pilots.

PBS alone will save ASA ~7 million in FO pay/medical, Captains downgraded to FO pay, less training costs from furloughs and more efficient usage of pilots (less vacation dropping). What are they giving in return for PBS? Increased vacation day values of 4 hours and the ability to break up our trips in open time for trades and swaps?

I feel bad for our furloughs. At the Oct 13 MEC meeting the PBS committee and the company making the bidding system will be there for us to become more informed about the PBS bid.

Well at least u get it. For the old guys at oh that can't start good rumors, here is wqhat the 10 millon is. They want oh to save another 10 millon from flt ops, this why you will see some changes that dont make sense. Such as the it move, things happening at the go, etc. There will be no cuts for fo's but rest assured we remeber that you old guys are the reason this contract has no rules. Funny thing is you guys voted this contract in because of fear and not worrying about fo's now a lot of you guys have to live with the rules and pay that you didn't think would effect you. I love karma. For what its woth there are at least 200 fo's left

That statement does not resemble anything that can be called the english language.

That's just the excuse management gives the employees.
As far as the paycuts, sure why not!? I mean it will save the airline, right?
So lets start with eliminating DS, then SB and work ourselves down the line.
The pilots gave up $14mil last time around, it's time these management types start giving up some of their 6 figure pay.

That is what you get from an Ohio State guy.

I kid. I kid.

ASA blows!

 

[LazyLightnin']

ASA blows!

Hahaha... And it begins.

 

[V-1]

You can get rid of New Guy 4 also. The scope of his responsiblility is answering the telephone when it rings from Atlanta.

 

[Flybywire44]

ASA blows!

:erm:

 

[PA44Jockey]

Have more furloughs been announced at OH?

 

[Seaknight1]

Have more furloughs been announced at OH?

Not since the last round.

 

[MIKE767]

Getting rid of Dave and SB would be worth the 10 million.

 

[PA44Jockey]

Getting rid of Dave and SB would be worth the 10 million.

Can you imagine the parties that would be thrown? Both of then Axed in one day. Not promoted to jobs at Delta, but flat out leg go. That would be better than New Years.

According to ALPA, the rumor began when JB, in a meeting with ALPA, casually mentioned the company would seek $10.5 million from FO pay rates when contract negotiations begin.

It's got nothing to do with whether or not CMR "needs" the money, but, according to JB, the fact that our rates are higher than some others.

Whatever.

If that's the company's stance, we'll be in negotiations for long, long time.
