There are tons of things the company could do to make life easier on our crews. Even Scheduling wants more of you guys back on line than what we've recalled. But the union/Scheduling don't make those decisions.
I know the union is working very hard on bringing as many furloughed pilots back as they can and I have all the respect for the hard work they put in specially M.P. But when the furloughs started back in 2008, the union did not show much interest "or at least did not communicate with us" or efforts to try to bring furloughed pilots back. The big topic of interest was eMaestro.

I’m glad that things are changing and the union is paying more attention to the staffing levels at Comair. I hope their efforts will bring all of us back to work very soon.
