I've been hearing a rumor around the SOCC that a bunch of Comair pilots/employees complained to RA himself about the new nonrev bennies and RA told Bendo to keep his people in check.

On a side note, did anybody else read the ALPA email today? They make it sound as though a recall is probable.

All the ALPA message mentioned was that the MEC proposed recalling furloughed pilots to help staffing in which they saw an issue arising from inappropiate staffing levels. Management did not act on this.

Why do people still think they are gonna recall? They don't care if the completion gets down to 80% it gives them a reason to park more planes and say comair sucks. Somebody gets off on this stuff. Things won't get better till the pilot group comes together and stops thinking about themselves. I just went through Add/Drop just for FOs and there were 10 people that either picked up open time or tried for May. Most tried a few times also.
I don't want recalls because I don't wanna go back. I would make more money sadly going back but I don't want to.

Huh? I'm selfish because I don't feel like working? I work 2 jobs now to pay the bills and have moved 4 times since my furlough. I am just saying comair blows and I don't want to be faced with a recall because I will sadly go back and bend over.

I agree, Comair is going to ride this short staffing out till they furlough in fall. I hope not but look at it this way, if they see they can make it with the staffing levels with x amount of hours in summer and get a thousand or so taken away in fall it will justify them furloughing to get that low staffing level again.

Its pointless. honestly if you were to get a recall call next week, wait out your 17 days to return, attend ground and sims, recheck, and then fly with a check airmen... you wouldn't even be line ready till what? mid to end of june? So you'll enjoy a whole 22 days off all summer (IF you can even get home-commuters) and spend the rest of your time living in a fine JFK crashpad only to be furloughed in the fall. I think I rather sit on the boat all summer and drink beer... but to each his own I suppose.

Just thinking outside the box.
