Funny how your MEC was able to negotiate a mitigation plan this lucrative, yet management at Comair was unwilling to even offer health insurance benefits to pilots who would actually work part time under one of our MEC's proposed furlough mitigation proposals last year.
Thanks for the information. It further clarifies the contempt in which DAL holds its employees over at its Comair subsidiary.
Best wishes to you guys for the impending fall schedule reduction. Sounds like furloughs are a pretty good deal over there.
