First of all, I can't believe this thread is still going. This has to be some kind of record or something. Secondly, I worked for Comair for 8 years, and was there during the strike. The one thing that Comair always had was a strong pilot group. The union is nice to have, but honestly ALPA is not looking out for the regional guy/gal. The most important thing is for the pilot group to be unified! Do not let Dave Soaper and the management divide you. Dave Soaper is a snake in the grass. Good luck!
