It's guys like this that pick up open time, bid HI lines, do favors, etc... that cause problems. Why should Comair or any other airline recall when their pilots are pulling more than their share of the weight?! This kind of stuff just kills me...
Did you get his name? ALPA usually will put reminder letters in people's v-files about picking up open time, when pilots are on furlough. It was easy to see when SBS was used but now no one can tell. So we'll have to rely on word of mouth. So give them a call if you hear of anyone picking up open time.
