It only makes sense to have training in JFK being the most of the pilots will be based there.

Just listened to the message on epic. There has got to be more furloughs coming. You can tell from the last message that he was just setting us up for this message. Then in this message he is just throwing it out there that way it is no surprise when it happens in the fall.

Need more pilots in the summer than in the fall, so shift training events to the fall as much as possible? Have more pilots available in summer? (Note- this assumes the goal is to solve staffing issues in the summer, not the fall...presumably, the staffing issues in the fall resolve around having more pilots than you need...)

Default Apple Discount

Can anyone tell me how to use the discount to buy a new mac at the Apple store?

I just went to the apple store and showed them my Comair ID. If you are a student, sometimes that discount can be more or less than the Delta discount depending on which Mac product that you buy. I bought from the store in the Kenwood Mall in Cincy. Just told them that I was a Delta employee and showed them my badge. Pretty much a non-event. If you want to order online you can access the discount by going through sparkfly and clicking on the Apple discount which will take you into the applestore online with your discount already shown.

Not sure what that mess above is, but I would advise everyone not to click on any of the links. I wouldn't trust it.

The start of another day at Comair with only RR reserves available at JFK! This company has no clue on how to plan one day ahead. What happens when all the RR's are done and no reserves are available to cover a sick call or a commuter clause?

They start abusing lineholders at 1.5X pay.
