The end of Comair

[GogglesPisano]

Wasn't UAL at one time represented on the BOD by the pilots?

As is Delta. Right now. Seems to be working out okay.

 

[GogglesPisano]

That has been tried. I believe some Pan Am pilots bought what was the Easter Shuttle and it failed.

Am I wrong.

I remember them. They only flew one day a year. They served ham and chocolate bunnies and had egg hunts on the plane.

I keed.

 

[No Delay]

Yes but all of the pilots could get together, pool their money,

another option is the pilots start buying all the voting stock of an airline get a sizable portion and then elect pilots to the board that would work to convert the airline to the perfect airline.

Most of the pilots I know won't spend the money to replace their piss yellow, sweat stained uniform shirt.

Good luck getting them to ante up for hostile take over!

Remember Kiwi? How long did they last? That was a bunch of ex Eastern pilots.

Isn't that a former Kiwi 727 at BTR, next to the terminal?

Delta will be in BK again in 5 trs. You heard it here first.

Delta will be in BK again in 5 trs. You heard it here first.

And you will be working at Burger King.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Don't remember it, but I haven't been in a few years. Is it flying or does it just sit there?

Comrcap,

Guess you don't need a recommendation from a delta pilot then. Good luck

Yes but all of the pilots could get together, pool their money, and start a perfect airline. Now you might have to hire someone with experience outside the cockpit that would respected by Wall Street and the Bankers, but the pilots could run the airline through this person by being on the board of directors.

Or another option is the pilots start buying all the voting stock of an airline get a sizable portion and then elect pilots to the board that would work to convert the airline to the perfect airline.

It's been tried over at UAL, they called it ESOP, shoulda called it cornholing.

It's been tried over at UAL, they called it ESOP, shoulda called it cornholing.

Isn't that because all the pilots sold their stock? or failed to exercise control through a voting block? why did ESOP fail?
