I can see it now, old Comair guy shows up at the gate, CVG-JFK, to go to work, gets bumped by some DAL pilots mom who wants to go to the big city and see a Broadway show
"Hello, Crew Scheduling? I'm claiming commuter clause." "OK, please hold for a chief pilot." (crappy music playing.....) "Hello? What do you mean you can't get to JFK? Why didn't you come in yesterday on your day off?" "FU, I quit" click

almost everything is the same..major differences are to buddy passes which are getting a double digit % increase in price, northwest flights are added, and we're S3Cs on everything except our own airplanes

For any furloughed guys out there, I just spoke to corporate travel and was told that we still have benefits. She thought that it would be S3B on Comair and S3CR on others (she wasn't completely sure though). Said there would be a conference call next week which should outline things better.

Comair better push to fly most of the CVG-JFK flights or there's going to be a lot of stranded pilots here in CVG! Oh that's right!
That's what they want to happen so those left will quit.
Boy the GO became alive when the new travel program came out. A lot of livid employees! I heard "sticking it to Comair" from just about everyone I heard discussing the issue. I mean we've had the same priority as mainline since they bought Comair. It's a big change to those who weren't here prior to that when Comair was just a contractor.

He's just been trying to quell the riot beforehand. He's going to get an earfull tomorrow. No one is happy about it here in the GO, but there's nothin we can do about it other than not pay the $50 and not travel.

I wonder what's the jumpseat priority will be like on comair? will it be first come first serve with a DAL pilot or Comar pilot comes first. Honestly it should be comair people first on comair.

Jumpseat agreement should stay the same as it is now. It's not tied in with pass travel.
