The doom and gloom was if we voted down the freeze, but the freeze passed (61% to 39% IIRC) so what we have now is best case. Comair management is simply incapable of doing any better. Delta is incapable of keeping promises.

Since ALPA stepped up to help the company, we've lost/are losing around 50 planes and 650 pilots, give or take.

Hey Vage, tell me again how I can help out?

To my union representation: Don't give an inch. They already violate our contract by letter and spirit. I'd rather be on the street than see our work rules written by J.O.
