JC Resigns Comair MEC

[General Lee]

So did JC get hired at Delta?

We are looking for qualified Lav dumpers, and I know JC and John Pennecamp have interviews next week...

Bye Bye--General Lee

DALPA scheduled a meeting with JC to discuss this issue, because CMR management had specifically stated that the reason they would not change their policy is because the pilots wouldn't support it.

Comair management doesn't abide by what IS in the contract. Why would they ask for the pilots permission to do something that has absolutely nothing to do with the contract?

It isn't really relevant anyway, because the CMR MEC's support should have been a given. DALPA shouldn't even have to ask for something so common sense.

But, you didn't know that, did you?
Bye BYe--General Lee

Didn't know, didn't care. Bottom line is that Delta pilots were picking up open flying while you still had guys on furlough. You can try to rationalize it all you want, but you were still lining your own pockets at your fellow pilot's expense. Nobody forced individual pilots to pick up time.

Wow, that's some great revisionist history, but that's not what took place at all. DALPA scheduled a meeting with JC to discuss this issue, because CMR management had specifically stated that the reason they would not change their policy is because the pilots wouldn't support it.

And you believe whatever management says, right? No wonder you were gullible enough to rent time in a 1900.

Losing a Federal Court case isn't a good enough reason to stop picking up overtime? Do you usually go against the Court's wishes? Any restraining orders against you? You probably don't care. She does, though.

It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, because it would have cost the CMR MEC nothing to support the furloughees and request that management help them. Instead, they tried to take advantage of the situation to extract scope concessions.

Delta was not in Section 6 negotiations during their round of furloughs after 9/11. Apples and oranges.

General, sometimes I agree with you, but you have way to much faiith in mgmt and, like most DL pilots, seem to be against job actions.

As far as the "one billion" dollars that "Comair pilots" "cost Delta" while trying to raise the bar (btw, if it was so unreasonably expensive, why didn't DL just pay up earlier?), what makes you think they wouldn't have just used that money for more worthless stock buybacks?

And as far as them not scoping out DCI flying, DL Mainline certainly has never done a fanstastic job of scoping out your own flying... glass houses and all that.

Now, on to something postitve, THANK YOU DELTA PILOTS FOR NOT SELLING OUT YOUR NEW HIRES. Every other legacy pilot group should be looking at your first year rates and asking themsleves "why did we sell out our new guys so much?".

So, after losing the case the first time, we should just go ahead and stop flying overtime again, and risk losing another verdict? We lost one time, and we wouldn't lose again? It would probably have been the same judge. Don't you think Delta would have gone back to the same judge? You don't? Apples and oranges my ARSE. Wake up. Anytime the "status quo" would have been interrupted, Delta would have gone back to court. We couldn't believe we lost the first time.

Bye Bye--General Lee
