There was a VERY noticable change in the way Comair employees treated us in CVG today. I'm not feeling the love anymore. What gives????
 
I don't think they are jealous (don't give yourself so much credit.). They are just really worried about keeping their jobs right now. I am sure you can relate.
 
I just rode the jumpseat on Comair and the pilots were business as usual. They treated me well and I didn't notice any new attitude. They know something is coming. Its just a matter of when and who.

You hit the nail on the head.

I'd be upset too if I knew Comair was in Mesa's gunsight.

HAH! Last thing Mesa needs is more 200's. Plus Mesa only has 300 mil or so in the bank . . . nowhere near enough to buy $$$ Comair.

Sad truth is, Comair would be LUCKY to get bought out by Mesa. AND THAT IS A NIGHTMARE . . !

Hell, if that's all the cash they have, they'd better just go buy Delta! What's DL worth these days, around 200 mil? Man, that's a scary thought...
 
Not trying to start a war or anything but our, mainline pilots, letter 46 states that 25% of all Delta flying will be flown by ASA and COMAIR as long as they are wholly owned airlines. I'm no lawyer but I would think that COMAIR has a pretty good foot to stand on for flying all 25% now.

Is that 100% owned or just partial?
 
Comair isn't going anywhere for now. Delta's going to declare CH 11, take us with them, and get some payback from the strike. I'm not worried about losing my job, I'm worried about losing more pay! And what would we be jealous about? I'm afraid that out brothers and sisters at ASA are in for the whipsaw of their lives. I hope I'm wrong but you guys just got bought out by a cheap operator. How long do you think it will be before Skywest management transfers some assets from your certificate to theirs and staffs those airplanes with their non-union, cheaper pilots, just to show you that they will not pay you any more than you already are? You guys deserve a better contract, and I will be the first to walk the line with you. I just hope this sale doesn't derail any progress that was made at the bargaining table. Good luck to all of you!
 
It's the seventy guys and gals that take the hit unfortunately, actually the second year pay is better at skywest than at ASA.

Lack of progression

There has been NO progression in 3 years of negotiating!!
