I'm with you spooledup. Its sad to think what the pay was before after the strike and what it is now. As far as the union signing the paycut into agreement... yes, that is technically what happened. However, many forget the pilot group was strong armed into it by a FEDERAL JUDGE in a U.S. Bankruptcy Court when the Judge sided with management...

Not to mention, the arguments Delta/Comair used to win over the judge have now come to the public light as false... just read some of the news on Yahoo Finance about Delta and it's investors. Delta themselves admitted to maintaining profitability during the same exact time period they told Comair we were losing money hand over fist and needed the paycuts desperately. It was either a sad, hard yes to the proposal, or take what management bent us over the table with.

As far as Cessna's comments about it not being all doom and gloom at Comair.. he's right. I love going to work everyday. Comair has some of the best guys/gals I've met in this industry. Of course, living in base and holding a line sure don't hurt either. Sure, its a drag sometimes, with our crappy schedules or some awful hotel accommodations, but what job isn't a drag? ANY job is what you make of it. I choose to think positively and enjoy myself and my time while at work. I'm going to be there anyway, may as well not hate it.
