Ok, your at a 10 right now...and I'm going to need you to come down to at least a 4.

You got caught in a crappy situation, and unfortunately the wheels of this machine were set into motion long before you got hired. You probably didn't know the corporate culture of the Comair/Delta relationship, but I bet you found out shorty afterwards.

Here's a clue that you are missing...

Delta owns Comair.

Our accountants and lawyers bought it for 1.8 billion dollars.

That turned out to be a bad investment which is being corrected by the accountants and lawyers.

So the evil wrongdoers will be the only ones left you say...I would venture to say that they will not be around too much longer either...but here's a point to consider:

When you built your aviation career with a job offer from Comair in 2004 you were essentially building your house on unstable ground, but you didn't know that and now that house foundation is coming down and all that is left is a broken sewer pipe with some RJDC turds left in it.

I also have a concern in reading these posts in that the service provided by Comair is going to continue to get worse (if possible.) "Call in Sick" says the dial-a-day-off fairy. Do you think that this will be any kind of surprise or shock to Delta or Comair? Do you think that the accountants and lawyers are saying "Whoa! What is happening, people are calling in sick now. How can we stop this? We didn't see this coming."

I would think that that the average pilot sees 1 maybe 2 moves ahead. Alpa, maybe 3 or 4 moves ahead. Delta is seeing like 10 moves ahead with a plan A, B, and C with people they have hired and are overpaying to assure that things are going to go their way.

How is this going to affect the Delta Pax traveling on Comair now? Continued crappy service as Comair continues to impode. Yes. Is this your fault? No. Did you choose your own path in Aviation and build your house of cards where you wanted it? Yes.

Bottom line... find a new job.
