I am not alone in hoping all works out well for the people of Comair.
Word in the crewroom in DTW today is that the union is trying to call some ground breaking audible to save us. Something about some "progressive" new way to do business in the regional airline world.
Pretty much I have zero faith in our union! EJ is a egotistical blowhard who creams his pants to be a union guy! I understand why the Delta guys's voted for the new contract. No brainer! I have friend's there and to be honest I would have said yes. The regionals need to disappear in my opinion. Sucks from the victim side but I do not want to fly a CRJ the rest of my career!
But ALPA tends to forget who else they represent. They love to sell out the next guy. If we go down I blame ALPA! I would love to have a dues refund for the last 6 years. I don't even read the magazine! It literally goes into my trashcan after I pull it out of my mailbox! Total joke!
Personally I hate work for a union! Biggest sham ever no matter the industry!
Really I don't blame Delta one bit. Classic case of capitalism. If your the general contractor you want the bids of your subcontractor's to be cheap as possible so you make more money in the long run? It's called a business!
