last day for 92 of us was 1/18/09. More to come is my guess

Yes, they continue to furlough and they are trying to get others to accept an Early Out (buyout) offer. I think you will see a lot of senior FOs take this offer.

Yet they are maxing out their reserves that are still there and yet still cancelling flights because of lack of crews..... What a crock

Where will they work after taking the buyout?

Reserves at Comair are not reserves in the true sense of the word. It has long been Comair's policy that if there is one unused reserve at the end of the day, they are overstaffed.

I don't think I've ever seen an airline furlough and NOT abuse reserve crews. I think its just the nature of the beast and I try not to think about it.

What's the deal? Are you guys parking airplanes or losing block hours from Delta? What gives?

Best of luck Comair guys.
