Oh darn! I'm gonna miss the Vage's going away speech tomorrow!
I guess the new guy will tell us about how he's currently looking for a place, since he's going to have to move down from the frozen tundra of MSP. I'm guessing he's one of RA's old buddies form NWA.

2. Installation of the Concourse C printers and computers in Concourse A with reduced staff to keep the printers full of paper
3. Elimination of free earplugs in flight ops.
4. All beverages on aircraft will be tracked like the current liquor kit. FA's will be accountable for their contents. Crews will pay $4 per can of soda.
5. Announcement that there will be no "appropriate replacement" holiday gift to replace the hams.
6. Reduction in block hours to save fuel
7. Announcement that our crew costs are still too high even though we only have 500 pilots on the property and 490 on reserve for scheduling flexibility.

The new CEO will bring the holiday hams back next year if we allow the company to deduct $2 per paycheck to pay for the hams.

We already have a new CEO. This would just be a newer CEO.
One benefit is... we'll be cheaper than our competitors because Comair CEOs are always on year 1 pay.
That should more than offset the cost of our senior pilot group.

we can ask him how long until the pilots switch from eMaestro to SBS? The flight attendants have already switched and it seems to be working well for them...

Isn't this the way that Bornhorst made the announcement last year?
Bring your camera to ensure a front row seat!

I think he was making a joke. It would be nice to switch back to SBS.

Why do you guys we will have a new president/CEO. It could be a meeting to announce one or all of the following:
1- Closure of CVG as a base
2- Move the 70/90 base to JFK
3- More reduction in flying
4- Merging with Mesaba and Compass
5- We are getting 737’s but we have to take a pay cut
6- The Hams are back
7- We are going to hire good looking flight attendants
8- The end of flight operation at Comair. We are going to drive
the buses at JFK to take passengers and Freedumb crews to pad 11.
