Now with a forced displacement to JFK and the company doesn't give a rats ass about me having to move there or commute there, Do they really think about me caring about A14, Being on time, PPAS or APU?????

Don't flame me, but what exactly does management have to do to make you think they give a pooh about you?

Pay for your move? Send flowers? Bake you cookies? I'm not hating, just wondering what exactly people expect the company to do to help them?

Best of luck with JFK, and remember there are 298 Comair brothers/sisters that would gladly relocate to NY if it meant a paycheck that wasn't signed by the State of Kentucky....

I agree. It may not be perfect and it may not be what we signed up for; but there are people who would do anything to sit ready RSV in JFK. It kills me to see senior captains complain. There comes a point where you need to make a choice. 1) suck it up and live with it or 2) Quit.

That said, I'm not being pro-management: I think this is going to be used to get people to quit. I just simply have no sympathy for someone who complains about a job when we have 300 people on furlough.

You guys are starting to sound like andy! "If you don't like it, then quit!", "Comair please recall me!", blah blah blah.... You guys would get recalled and be back on this board the next day crying and whining about how you got abused by scheduling today. Wish I had the time to dig up your old posts from when you guys were b!tching before!

Actually, I'm not furloughed and I'm certainly not complaining

Every pilot deserves to be treated fairly, as per the contract, on a day to day basis. When the contract is broken daily and pilots are forced into work they did not sign up for, they have every right to complain. Its simple, treat your employees exactly how you said they were going to be treated or people will complain... rightfully so.

I have really NEVER complained so you must be talking about one of the other 297.

Amen. That being said, some people will just never be happy...

My whole time at Comair was spent on reserve, and frankly was pretty miserable so much to the point that being furloughed was going to be a blessing in disguise. Well here I am 5 months later and though the time off is nice, the halt on my career and lack of income really stinks. I would welcome a recall asap, but the novelty would wear off quick...either way I'm looking to get out of regional 121, too much BS...but the income and additional flight time would be nice in the meantime if nothing else comes along. Ok just babbling now.
