Did anyone watch the local news last night? It really wasn't anything new, but I noticed when they were talking about Delta's 2009 reductions it was said that Delta would be getting rid of it's routes that are the most fuel insufficient. Is that directed right at the 50 seat aircraft?

In December, JFK block hours spiked, exceeding 6,300 hours for the month. "In 2009, JFK will
settle between 5,000-5,500 hours a month, requiring approximately 115 CRJ crews. In CVG,
excluding January, the base will maintain approximately 12,000 hours and 260 crews. The CR7/9
block hours will hover around 8,000 hours and require 155 crews."
115 + 260 + 155 = 530 crews
530*2 = 1060 pilots
there you have it fellas
Comair will be at 1000 pilots

Nothing new in that Memo. It is clear that the furloughes are going to last for 2 years or more. Good luck to all.

From the Memo on Epic Today:
"This is what happened yesterday when 51 pilot sick
calls were reported, representing a 37 percent increase over the daily average. Additionally,
December 1 is part of the monthly transition, which this month had a significant impact because of
substantial schedule changes and the fact that winter block times are used compared to the fall block
times that transition trips are built with. With all of this facing the Comair team, you still managed
to not cancel any flights due to crew shortages, and we avoided involuntarily junior man situations. "
I guess this question is directed towards those of you that follow the staffing grids and such.
How do we have all these people call in sick, end up short staffed, manage NOT to cancel flights AND "avoid involuntary j.m. situations"?
Is this an indication of how many people are willing to pick up open time or is there another way they got these flights covered?

I also wonder how many of the 235 "losing" captains will be happy going to the right seat after being in the left seat for the last 6-10 years?
Looks like it will take 6+ years just to remain a CVG FO.
Our assistant chief pilots will all be gone. Three of our chief pilots will become assistant chief pilots.
Housing is about to become very cheap in Northern Kentucky.

You don't want a sick out!
I'm no lawyer but I don't think there is a problem with discouraging fellow pilots from volunteering for extra work assignments. You don't want to make threats but reminders should be OK. Especially when you have brothers who are out on furlough.

That's right. Pay attention, everyone. DO NOT CALL IN SICK unless you are really sick.
If someone were to suggest that everyone call in sick at one time, for example December 23rd, don't do it. That would be bad.
If someone were to suggest that you use up your sick time before you get furloughed, like by calling in sick on December 23rd, don't do it. That would be bad.
Don't do bad things like call in sick before Christmas. Comair's future prosperity depends on you coming to work on Christmas.
I'm serious... don't call in sick unless you are really sick. That would be bad.

I'm just waiting for the next displacement and award. Not knocking JFK, but I am not going to be forced to go there and be treated like this.
