Dude dont bother with that. Those application take forever to fill out. All you need to do is call, fax your resume, email the HR department at any airline. Any form of contact is considered "applying" according to the unemployment office. Even if you leave a message on the machine and they dont return your call. That is still accepted by the unemployment people. It should only take you a half hour. This is what I did and there was no problem.

Hope that helps for any of you.

Did you see how Comair will be operating some Delta Connection flights for Mesaba in April. DS put out a memo to the pilot group that this will be temporary and that it will not be any type of increase in our flying.

Ladies and Gentlemen, why would we be doing this. DS says the only changes will be some minor procedural changes for our crews.

What's next?

They get to make up the rules as they go along.

So let me get this straight. If I roll in at 8:00am on the 2nd and I am not tagged with anything and I'm am released to go home, I basically go home and sit the rest of my window until 3:00pm. Then if I am called with something, I would be subject to a 9 hour call out? Could the company notify me when coming back into the gate that morning of a change to a SC window for the remainder of that day? Wouldn't they have to do that the night before?
The answer to the first two questions is yes even though I have never been released and called back in the same day. It is most likely that when you get in you would be notified then of any changes although technically you are to be phone available until 1500. As far as changing to a SC that day, that is illegal since the contract says you can only sit one reserve window per day. To change your window you must be notified the day prior.

Thanks for the advice, I fortunately used this app when I applied to Comair. So all I really had to do was change some flight times. Everything else stayed the same and I was able to apply to 10 different places at once. But thanks for the info on the unemployment office, I didnt know you could do that.

I heard something similiar, except that there is suppose to be a major annoucement come April by Mesa, there is suppose to be an increase in flying around that time thus the reason why both pilot and f/a furloughs have been halted ( I didn't know that) to see how this all plays out. I have no idea what this company is doing anymore, not that I did in the first place.

Whats your source?

There is supposed to be an increase in flying in the DCI side?...and are you saying additional pilot/fa furloughs have been halted by Comair?

Was on the employee shuttle yesterday and a Captain from ORD told me that. He supposedly has a friend in the G.O. that's on his way to MSP soon. Forgot to add take it with a grain of salt. How many times have we got our hopes up then they get dashed to bits?

I haven't heard officialy that the company halted furloughs, has anyone heard that?
