Is anyone else having trouble logging on to maestro from home? Seems like it takes forever to open.
The company is still in the process of demoting supervisors in scheduling department and the like. Perhaps they are bringing on extra avionics techs to help get more planes ready for return. Or better yet, we are getting electronic flight bags!

This plan may be working out just perfect for Delta and Comair managment. If they furlough enough in the fall, the most junior guy on the property will be a 5 or 6 year FO. The downgrades will go so deep that the most junior CA will be over 10 years. Furloughed guys won't want to come back and will have moved on. Some of the semi senior guys will leave because they don't want to sit right seat for a near 40K pay cut. They will get what they want. Give it 3 years or so and Comair will be hiring like mad(if they are still around). The guys at the very top will be retired and it will again be a junior airline with 10 Year Captains being the senior.
Good ole Richard Anderson did that to Mesaba when he was at NWA....and oh waitttt, Look where tricky Dick Anderson is now.

Latest Comair rumor(s):
Planes are being put back into the flight. Supposedly, they have hired an extra 5 avionics techs for this.
Staffing of crews is extremely short right now, possible talk of recalling some furloughs back (yes I know that is contradictory, but things change fast in this industry, you all know that.)
Come fall expect a huge sced pull down which is why to company does not want to recall furloughs. (confused yet?)
Does anyone know what the hell this company is doing?
No decision in sight for the Delta v. Mesa stuff yet, spoke with a Mesa pilot who confirmed according to Mesa releases, no settlement or any under the table deal has been reached, according to him, he was told to expect the worst, though J.O. and company feel that they have a good chance of winning.

Mesaba needs to get their maintenance and materials departments in check..seriously. They've been complaining to DCI and Delta that when they break a plane somewhere that we're not helping out by either selling or loaning them parts!
I've actually gotten into phone arguments because we won't give up our last part in stock to help them out. Hey I'm willing to be a team player and help out if I've got enough parts in stock to help out, but I'm not going to take mx cancellations due to not having the part I need because we gave our last one to Mesaba! DCI has been forcing us to be a crutch for them for too long now. They need to start utilizing their parts and repair vendors as well as Bombardier like everyone else. Heck all those 900's are under warrenty! If something breaks; Bombardier is supposed to replace it free of charge. It's good that we're all able to help one another out in times of need, but jeez...don't abuse the help.Man I need another beer!

They've been coming in for the initial wire intall; then when all the a/c are wired, they will be resceduled to come in for the EFB install.
