I agree I will take a job right now especially recall, I'm not expecting anything..... sitting home filling out apps and getting unemployment is getting to old

 

I hate to put even another damper on things, but if the union is even thinking about flex line values, that is probably just to lessen the amount of furloughs that are coming in the fall.

 

I agree..................................

 

i would expect nothing less from you turbodog! if you didnt write something completely negative, i would be worried that someone hijacked your username and was typing as an impostor!

 

Help me figure out something positive about this company to say.

 

Comair comes before Mesa, Mesaba, and Pinnacle in the Phonebook.

But that's about it.

 

the company allows you to be gainfully employed. while it may not be the best place to work at the moment, it sure is a hell of a lot better than being on the streets for over 6 months.

Jobs are hard to find in the aviation sector (in any sector actually), which makes it hard to provide food for families and funds for bills. So while everything at this company may be crappy to you at the moment, I hope that you are still thankful that you have a job....because there are almost 300 comair folk (and who knows how many other furloughed airline employees) out there who wish they had a job more than ever right now.

Also, I think I speak for all my fellow furloughed brothers and sisters out there who are truly thankful for all the things the pilot group has done for us/ has taken a stand for us. While there will always continue to be the scumbag pricks out there who pick up open time and hardly even notice that we are on the streets---there sure are a handful of other folk out there who keep us in mind and we are truly grateful.

All I am saying is TRY to enjoy what you have while you got it.....because once it is gone---it sucks. No matter how bad it was, nothing is worse than being unemployed.

 

He is just being realistic.

 

But O2 is AlSO being realistic. Turbo he's right and so are you. Just enjoy what you have. It may be momentary, but it is more than almost 300 others (myself included) have. The company does suck -at least the way it is been run-, but I'd rather be there than doing what I'm doing right now. This has certainly being a humbling experience. One I wish on no one, or me again.
Just enjoy and let the chips fall where they may.

 

I realize that it sucks to be on the street. However, I am just being realistic. We know that there is a rather large reduction in block hours coming in the fall. Larger than the normal fall pull down in block hours. Management is not hiding this. I am just trying to keep some of you furloughed guys from getting your hopes up just to be let down AGAIN. I it would be naive to think that a recall is coming anytime soon, but you're entitled to follow that train of thought. I wish you all the best and I hope you find a job outside of this place. For those that await a recall, I hope you get it before the sword falls on the property.
