Need New Comair Contract

[Super Monkey]

To our fellow Comair pilots:

Would it be possible to get a hold of the new Comair contract?

Thanx in advance!

[Terrain Terrain]

im sorry to beat this to death, but....


THERE WAS NO REASON TO ACCEPT THIS CRAP.......


and to the FO's why are your cuts more than the CAs. Thats so much bullsh;t. Really i cant stand all you guys taking cuts, but when an FO takes a bigger cut than a CA that is tottal crap.

SCREW THAT.

just to get the first word in.

DEANGELO you are an afrimaction bad stick/rudder sell out, so screw your token opinion.

yea I finally said it, thats why you got your job.

I agree, here's my threory. Most 50 seat CA's voted the cut in (it affected them least), a fair amount of 70 seat CA's voted the cut in (these guy's are way freakin' senior and don't want to think about the possibility having to update their logbook for the first time in 15 years), some senior FO's voted the cut in (hoping to upgrade and get the heck out), and D'angelo voted the cut in (because he's an idiot). Add in the people who got freaked out by a paper that two of our union "volunteers" released a few days before the vote closed (it was later confirmed that the paper was not endorsed by the union in any way; these pilots are no longer "volunteers") and it passed.

I seriously doubt many FO's voted themselves a pay cut. Also consider that a fair number were still on probation (and some furloughed) at the time of the vote. I know that given another opportunity to vote (a strong possibility) I certainly won't vote myself a pay cut (not to mention worse reserve rules).

It will never pass again if the FAs dont agree to 8.9m.
