Yes, I'm upset at the same time too, but its a good opportunity. Even if I did come back, it would be years before an upgrade.
You're absolutely right but a quick look at the "demographic" of our pilot group makes that a bit unrealistic. Three times in the last four years we've voted YES on pay freezes and concessions and look where that's gotten us. Past behavior is a good predictor of future performance and I guarantee you given the chance there will still be plenty of folks willing to give up some more to save the country-club lifestyle in N. Kentucky with nowhere to go.
Pay cuts, PPAS, on-time, "right-sizing", furloughs, bankruptcy have not saved Comair and obviously nothing will.
