Comair to offer buyouts to ALL employees.
No flight sced. past March, is this just they are late in terms of posting it or
something else?
Bubba since they are getting rid of the 50's any other rumors you have heard about the fleet? Still forecasting a drop to 80 A/C.
Everyone watch your time sheets, just got my direct deposit and I was SHORTED/ NOT PAID FOR OVERTIME!!!
As far as buyouts it's usually for non union employees, since there are no contract issues to deal with. With Mesba mx to begin full swing next month I really don't think they'll offer any to the IAM. Mesaba loves our mx so much that they'll ferry an aircraft down here for us to fix! I guess Mesaba doesn't want to fork the money over to send their top mechs to Bombardier for training. They're really clueless about CRJ mx. I mean they're used to Saabs and Avro's, then all fo a sudden they dump a gazillion -200/-900s on them.
Still going to 80 aircraft as far as I know. Delta has yet to release the spring schedule past March. Though I've heard that ASA and SkyWest are going to take a hit this time as well. Though I know NWA is ramping up DC-9 training.
