Just a thought.....maybe a little glimmer of light.....maybe
That's the thing... we never had the 'slots' you speak of. Big Daddy D just told us to be ready to accept additional flying from mesa, etc... it never came. The 300 will come out of the seniority list.
We are now left with a surplus of pilots... In addition to that, we are having additional cuts that will eat into our group of pilots that were hired prior to this big buildup...
It sucks... I know. I am only about 140 from the bottom of that list with almost a year behind me here at Comair... I guess all we can do is hope that 300 is a gross over estimation and senior guys take voluntary options...
