Comair has 100% completion days bc when something happens with a flight......and the pax are all moved to another airline bc they've been waiting HOURS..... Comair Junior mans/displaces an entire crew to fly the EMPTY plane on the leg........at midnight....after a long day flying already

What part doesn't make sense? I did not say that Delta would shut Comair down based only on the fact that we have a very expensive payroll, though it is something that can be handled very easily during a restructure. Aside from the expensive guys at the top, we have expensive guys all around. 5 and 6 year FOs does not help a regional airline in terms of being competitive. Also, there will always be bad blood between Delta and Comair. Not saying that the strike shouldn't have happened, but it did and it was a major blow to Delta. I believe Delta will drive Comair into the ground out of spite if nothing else.

I also believe if there were larger plans for Comair we would have a better coach and not some crusty has been and a used car salesman. JS is simply making us a bed to take our final nap.

Youtube the independence air tribute. That's going to be us, you watch.

If you truly believe this place has no future, why not quit now?

I just tried calling HR to talk to them about unemployment benifits. There answering machine stated, "Due to SHORT STAFFING, you may not get a call back right away."

Because I've been wrong before and I'm also very very lazy.

I am actually working on something else. I can assure you if it works out, I will be out of here and I won't look back.

Hopefully I am wrong! I hope you have contingency plans in the event that it doesn't. With the current state of the economy and this industry, if you don't have a back up plan you are playing with fire.

If anybody gets a random ferry flight to BNA at 5am you might be taking it to get painted. I got to do it but it being comair nobody knew what was going on. Ops gave us a gate then as we were pulling in they called us and said we had to go to the "hangar". So about 10 minutes later they tell us which hangar and to go to the Embraer hangar. Apparently they are painting some of our planes. So with this fun taxi around nashville we miss the first flight back to cvg and got 4 hours of bna airport appreciation. So if you get a BNA ferry flight find out why you are doing it and look at flights back to cvg.

That's interesting, BNA is where United Airlines has all of it's regional aircraft painted.... hmmmmmm
