At this point, I really hope we the pilot group get a contract that we deserve and that management aknowledges the fact that we have taken PLENTY of concession over the past few years and that they recognize the experience level of our pilot group, and that we should be compensated for that properly.
Let's get the facts straight on this one(Roger Cohen.) Sorry had to say it.
Delta, nor Comair Management is ever going to feel sympathetic to Comair's Pilot group. They are NEVER going to hand you a better contract, or a pay raise because they feel your pain. If anything they are going to try to break you down even further. If you guys want to get a better contract or you want your concessions back, they are going to make you fight for it. I would get together with as many pilots as you can and get the message out there that your ALPA leadership better produce. ALPA at Comair is nothing more than a little boys club. They have lost their balls. You all need to tighten the ropes and hold your leadership accountable. If they don't produce, or you disagree with their style, then step up to the plate and make it happen.
Good luck with the upcoming negotiations! Remember, you are sleeping with the enemy if you are hoping the company will realize how much you all have been team players. They could care less.
