The governments pathological lying had gotten worse in the last few months. No earmarks? Come on?!

I'm not trying to be political and I didn't care for B but this is way worse and eveeryone seems to just go along with it.

Think about this a 16 year Capt on the 70 makes over $93 an hour a 1st Year FO at Delta makes $52 an hour. its not as simple as you may think most of those 16 year Capt have a house a mortgage kids in school a car payment or two taking a big pay cut like that is a major sacrifice. Unless the economy reverses course in the next 12 months I dont see any major airline hiring in droves for the next 36 months, I am not preaching gloom and doom just what I see as reality right now, sure their are jobs out there but they are few.

The Company wants people to QUIT and this is one way they are tying to do it. Comair is very Top Heavy and management knows that and they are trying to cut the fat.

A 16 year Capt has decent pay ok QOL why would they go somewhere to Be on RESERVE for a LONG time for almost half the pay. I remember in 07 Delta was putting alot of new hires on the 76ER out of JFK so there is no gurantee that said 16 year Capt would not end up at as you say JF'n K,

Academia and hippies are running this country and, last I checked, they hardly put bread on any of our tables.

How's Comair guys?

Remember No single raindrop thinks it is responsible for the Flood.
we are all in this together

I support myself, believe in totally free markets, and believe the federal government is WAY beyond the scope of our constitution. And surely there are a few hundred million Americans like myself that would like to do something about it. We've witnessed the limits of a corrupt centralized federal government and financial system. Let's decentralize both of these institutions and give the country back to whom she belongs - the People.


Totally ON-subject.... Is RJ still standing in the HR office at Comair? That airplane mascot cracked me up. Anybody have a picture?
