Thanks for that!!! You are a waste of time!

You back from banned camp already, acarpe?

I guess they will call this growth for Comair. Isn't that what you call it when you lose 8 planes and now you get 7 in return.

Judas Priest!! I leave for awhile and come back to find the correct spelling of lose!! What a proud moment in FI history. So proud. And then again two posts later!! I'm overcome with pride. Way to go you LOSERS!!!!!

they have only said 7 so far. Rumor is Maint has been told to expect 7 additional airframes from the factory.

Under the new Joint agreement scope language, if the additional 15 900's that Mesa and Pinnacle were scheduled to get are delivered there will be too many 76 seat aircraft in the DAL system. I would not put too much credibility on rumors of additional aircraft being delivered. Lets all hope the additional lift goes to mainline.

Well that was quick. Comair just lost those 7 CRJ 900s they gave us a couple of weeks ago.

Fleet assignment changes
Earlier this month, I communicated that Delta Connection planned to assign an additional seven
CRJ-900s to Comair beginning in October. The fluctuations in our flight schedule continued this
week as Delta Connection revised our assignment and will no longer position these aircraft with
Comair.
This latest development is disappointing, especially because we moved so quickly to adjust our
operation to take advantage of this opportunity. This year, we’ve seen more uncertainty than any of
us would like regarding our fleet and schedule, and the most recent development impacts our plan
in the following manner:​

•​

Fleet: Since January, we have anticipated our fleet declining by 14 aircraft by the end of the
year. Today’s news does not change that outlook, and eight CRJ-100/200 aircraft will be
returned to lessors when their agreements expire. The plan also calls for reduced utilization on
the remaining 50-seat planes.​

•​

Staffing: As we communicated before the additional CRJ-900 assignment, we anticipate an
overage in our crew staffing. Pilots and flight attendants should stay tuned to EPIC in the
coming days for information regarding changes to the staffing outlook and the next steps in our
process. We also continue to review administrative positions to ensure that we are appropriately
staffed to support the operation.
We should anticipate fluctuations in our flight schedule to continue as Delta adjusts its plans
according to fuel prices and associated economic factors. I remain committed to sharing significant
updates with you.
As I’ve acknowledged in previous communications, this year has been a rollercoaster. We must
look beyond this most recent valley to our next potential peak. I appreciate your flexibility,
resilience and your determination to deliver a quality product to our customer regardless of what’s​

happening “behind the scenes.”

What's happening "behind the scenes" is utter incompetence on the behalf of management and scheduling that will cost 100 captains the left seat and 200 FO's their jobs, and many more displaced from their base or aircraft of choice.

Nice going.

I can see it now, the other day when the scheduling failed. soaper gets a call from DL "so dave whats the problem, I don't know, want some head" dave must have used too much teeth. For what its worth there is more to the story.

Well they are not coming to ASA, Scott just told RGT class that they were told by Delta this morning that this group of 900's would not be coming to ASA. Take that for what its worth.....

We'll see. By RP's own admission, this is the third vacancy bid in a row that they had to cancel. I wouldn't be surprised if the displacement bid that will come out of this gets canceled also.

I agree, ds wants something and the union laughed at him

I believe the union wants ds to be hanged in public in the parking lot of Crescent Springs shopping center. JS is only willing to hang him inside the Newport Mall, in a more private setting. Hence the stalemate.

JS can fall down a stair case and the GO wouldn't even know he was missing he has no role at this company. As far as ds, I personally want to be the man that ties the noose.

So I'm guessing Skywest or Pinnacle? ASA get's passed again! We show fantastic perfomance but we continue to shrink...that stinks!

I wonder how long this fantastic performance will keep up if our management keeps kicking us in the gut.

If these airplanes go to SkyWest I hope management realizes that the D-0 program will not get the support that it used to receive.

Our management has been saying for months that these D-0 and fuel conservation initiatives were to position us to get more flying. Now more flying is available, and we don't get it. What gives?

Umm, if that is the same RGT class I'm in, Scott was not in there today. He was in there on Monday and indicated that the company is doing their best to try so get some of those airframes.

While I agree with you to a point.....it is pretty disappointing to not get any of the growth in DCI aircraft for years now, while losing a whole fleet.....remember, our bonuses depend on our performance, and our rights to retain our Delta flying.

It is mysterious to me why Delta refuses ASA any larger first class cabin RJ's, seeing as we are the largest DCI carrier and the largest in Delta's main focus hub. We lose cities every time we are replaced by a 76 seater. Not to mention, Pinnacle is deep in negotiations, yet keeps growing with new planes, bases, etc....

When ASA was deep in negotiations, we couldn't get any flying, and our negotiations were used against us and as a carrot. Then when we signed, everybody raved how the floodgates were about to open and big things were ahead! Then, it was to be as soon as we upped our performance. We accomplished that.......but still nothing.

I agree though, the love affair with BH will be short lived if all of our efforts culminate in nothing but lost flying while all the others around us profit.

Comair Management can't even throw a company Christmas party correctly. Right before I left they sent a memo out for the December 2007 company Christmas party. Anybody remember this one? The date for the party I believe was January 4, 2008. (Give or take a day or two) Yep January. Then they wanted to charge everyone to attend and have a cash bar.

Shortly afterwards a memo was sent out saying the party was cancelled due to lack of response from the employees.

Gotta give it to them though. They are consistant.
