That is exactly why I don't think they were serious about that buyout!
I think they want guys to quit. Make it so miserable they will just give up.

Talkin' about C.C.? I've never met him... maybe that's a good thing.

Comair seems to have an unusually large number of the "5 percenters." JFK *USED* to be a fairly safe haven from these guys... but I guess no longer.

I'm guessing they're the ones no one likes flying with. In JFK I only ever flew with one CA (only 2 legs thank goodness) that I didn't want to ever fly with again, who was also a JFK guy, at the time anyway. The CVG folks I got the chance to fly with were great, but I do understand that more of the 5%ers hail from there. All in the whole 13 months or whatever it was I was flying...

For every D-bag on that list, there are 40 guys you will have a blast flying with, so I wouldn't worry about the culture changing too much. That is, unless commuting will turn the good guys into the Devil!

Yes, 5% of people ruin it for the other 95%. And in my 2 years at Comair, 90% of those 5%'ers happened to be CVG based. Most of them were at the company for more than 10 years and hated life on reserve (or life in general), but would never dream of coming to "such an awful place" like JFK to greatly improve their QOL. Now that they are being *forced* into JFK, I can only imagine how awful those select few will be to fly with.

And I think any JFK FO can name the top 3 5%'ers in JFK in 3 seconds or less.

3 5%'ers in 3 seconds?.....I can probably name 12 in 3 seconds. My hat's off to you guys having to deal with these folks in JFK. I remember how quite a few of them would just blow a fuse for having a JFK turn. Now that they'll be based there, I can't even imagine......Good luck to you all.

I didn't think JFK had 12, up until the displacements start this month. Maybe 5 at most. Maybe I just got lucky?

Comair just can't catch a break.


Airlines improve for 1st time in 5 years


What amazing things Delta has done to this airline.
