Here's testimony from the current Vice President of DCI, back when he was our own fearless leader, UncaDon:
Comair’s President, Don Bornhorst, testified persuasively concerning Comair’s uncompetitive cost structure. Under the heading “Comair Has Run Out Of Time To Restructure,” he said:
...Unless Comair achieves the pilot labor reductions contained in Comair’s Section 1113 Proposal, Comair will (I) remain uncompetitive; (ii) be unable to compete effectively for new flying opportunities with Delta or other mainline carriers; and (iii) be at risk of losing its entire 70-seat regional jet fleet and a portion of its 50-seat regional jet fleet to competitors who can provide the same flying at lower cost to Delta.
Keep in mind UncaDon was under oath, and now he's the guy awarding Comair planes to other DCI carriers because we're "uncompetitive".
Note the judge's own words..."testified persuasively". UncaDon's testimony was clearly a driving force in the pilot contract being thrown out.
Also note his clever use of the word "
unless". Meaning, these bad things will happen to Comair
unless the pilots take cuts. The judge listened, and made the pilots take cuts. Now these bad things are happening to Comair anyway, and what's worse, UncaDon is the one doing them.
Does anyone think this guy should be in prison? Or at least impeached for felony perjury?
