Furlough Update

-Company will not even meet with ALPA to discuss mitigation.
-Company only wanted to extend MOU to keep min line value at 76 instead of the contractually 84ish (where it goes back to at the end of the year)...which would only save about 25-30 jobs (not worth it, frankly)

I spoke to a rep, this is what he had to say. Hopefully this'll shut up some of the people that think the company is on their side. Comair, doesn't give a crap whether we work there or not, or whether we're happy or not. ALPA has no ground to stand on cause of the federal railway labor act and Comair knows it. This is the unfortunate reality that we're all going to get furloughed and there's nothing that ALPA can do about it, because the Aholes in mgmt wont meet to discuss anything with substance.

I also complained loudly about the lack of communication, and he apparently understood that..and working to get some more correspondence out there between us and the union.

Good luck to everyone.
