We currrently have small classes starting biweekly with a short break in February as the footprint for training is massaged. I personally think that good news is headed down the pipe but we may have to weather a storm such as a Delta merger before things begin to turn. Some people are scared of this and are cutting and running. My only thoughts on this is if all DCI carriers and other non DCI carriers do have to scale back wouldnt it be better to have 6 months in instead of 1.
I wish i could go back to the Christmas Day meltdown we had which btw was the beginning to Comairs "slow growth" or "shrinkage." Since that fateful day there has been nothing but shrinkage and i don't mean what George from Seinfeld meant, and false promises and expectations.
Believe me when I say that i would like to see a light at the end of the tunnel but after MANY promises made by our past "4"CEO's in five years, and yet more negative news forgive me when say "show me the money!"
People are scared and running? I would cater this to a wise opportunity having the ability to see what really is and has been happening here.
Anyone can try and offer me some Koolaide here but ll i would need to do is look at the facts and history and NOT what may happen if this should occur or that occur, or they "heard" something from someones' cousin who is married to the daughter of a man that heard comair has been bought! Sick of speculation and rumors and koolaide. Before I get flamed, I enjoy the flying here and personal I fly with, just sick of managements lies and their advocates trying to force koolaide to me and others. Want to raise morale, or quality...show us the money or at least an ACTUAL VISION of where this company is headed.
