None that I can think of. This CEO will pass all of the unresolved problems to the next.

Unless DS also goes, it will be business as usual.

These are my guesses that CEO Next will have in store for us:

1. Removal of Television in Flight ops when we move to Concourse A. Recuction in electricity consumed will pay for one pizza party per year when we break the old completion record in 2009.
2. Installation of the Concourse C printers and computers in Concourse A with reduced staff to keep the printers full of paper
3. Elimination of free earplugs in flight ops.
4. All beverages on aircraft will be tracked like the current liquor kit. FA's will be accountable for their contents. Crews will pay $4 per can of soda.
5. Announcement that there will be no "appropriate replacement" holiday gift to replace the hams.
6. Reduction in block hours to save fuel
7. Announcement that our crew costs are still too high even though we only have 500 pilots on the property and 490 on reserve for scheduling flexibility.

Oh darn! I'm gonna miss the Vage's going away speech tomorrow! I guess the new guy will tell us about how he's currently looking for a place, since he's going to have to move down from the frozen tundra of MSP. I'm guessing he's one of RA's old buddies form NWA.

The ear plugs will still be available at the crew room. They will be available in the vending machine for $.75 each and the money will be used for all the pizza parties in the coming year.
The new CEO will bring the holiday hams back next year if we allow the company to deduct $2 per paycheck to pay for the hams.

We already have a new CEO. This would just be a newer CEO.

One benefit is... we'll be cheaper than our competitors because Comair CEOs are always on year 1 pay.

That should more than offset the cost of our senior pilot group.

Another benefit is...

we can ask him how long until the pilots switch from eMaestro to SBS? The flight attendants have already switched and it seems to be working well for them...

The flight attendants haven't had the pleasure to use Messtro yet. Remember, we're still on phase one of like...SEVEN....flight attendant addition to maestro was phase two

Isn't this the way that Bornhorst made the announcement last year?

Bring your camera to ensure a front row seat!
Now I won't be able to sleep tonight because of all the excitement.


BTW, does anyone know what scenario(s) they are doing right now for downgrade LOEs?
