The quote I posted earlier was from Osmundson (then V.P. of Flight Operations, for those who've not been here long) during one of his evening visits to operations while stumping for the bankruptcy concession package. A First Officer was asking him how he was supposed to support his family if the concessions the company was working to force on us in court went into effect.

The Chow,

If you ever happen to fly into CVG at 2 a.m. take a look over at the G.O. - it's lit up like a Christmas tree.

I've also suggested they move the entire G.O. into the abandoned DHL facility, or the Mesaba hangar if it's not in use, and lease the G.O. building out as office space to a company that can actually justify such an extravagance.

This is a company that under oath during their court action against it's employees (us) told the judge they had to have concessions in order to secure growth...while during those proceedings admitting under oath they were projecting a fifty million dollar profit for that year.

They got their concessions, but there still hasn't been growth.

And no, increasing the fleet size from 120 to 130 is not growth. There will be no true growth until airframes on property exceed pre-bankruptcy levels. Until that point in time, new airframes are to be considered "recovery aircraft".
