Thanks for the info. My illusions are subsiding.

Am I the only one who thinks it's naiive to expect a Comair-level contract from a company that isn't owned by a major, to say nothing of the fact that it's post-9/11, not pre-9/11?

Nope.

I also think it's suicidal for a pilot group to say "keep the big planes at the majors". If CHQ (or any regional) doesn't take them, another one will

I want mainline to agree to fly them as the bottom of their payscale rather than a 'regional' fly them as the top of theirs. Better to have job creation at the bottom of a career job than at the top of a 'stepping stone'.

Kingairer, good info. Thanks for posting it.

...my guess is that Tom Moore hasn't been firing pilots due to pilots not being able to get to work. No Commuter Policy is a "free ticket" to work. You still have to be a responsible commuter....

Nobody has been fired because we end up calling in sick if we get stuck. I know a few that have been suspended for missing a commute though.

A commuter clause may not equate to $$$ in your eyes but if you have to call in, you run the risk of getting caught and end up on suspension, that is $$$ no matter how you shake it.

For the record, I have not had a direct need for a commuter clause yet, but I have come VERY VERY close and that would have been a nice safety net.
