Is there still only one chief pilot at JFK or did some of the other guys have to switch?

Well Comair finaly took its toll on me. I put in my 2 weeks today! I am looking forward to spending every night at home and working a normal job in which you get paid for every hour you work. No more commuting, crashpads, eating every meal out....I can't wait. For those of you who don't want to get furloughed or want to get called back, I hope my spot helps you.

SPOILERS.....chill man. Let the anger go!.
No one is insinuating anything. I'm curious as to how they plan to do this with such short rank and file available. (H46BUBBA...feel free to comment here. Your oppinion is welcome.)

DIVER DRIVER, thanks for your response. I believe you might be right. So far, it is the only explanation that makes sense.

[b][b]Special notice for Johannesburg-Lagos guests

June 2, 2009

Intending guests on Arik Air’s services between Johannesburg and Lagos should note the following:

* The Airports Company South Africa
does not permit the following items as checked-in baggage:
o TV sets (inclusive of Plasma and LCD)
o car parts (inclusive of tyres)
o radio
o generators
o refrigerators.


People don't surprise me anymore. I used to be D.M. for a large airline before going back to flying. One particular day, this young girl going home from college, checked in for her flight. Amongs the belongings she was checking was a small refrigerator in it's box. She was not going to leave it behind. No matter how manny times we said no, or explained the refrigerants are a hazmats, she would not budge. It came to the point we had to call the cops 'cause she was getting belligerant and abusive towards the agents. I gave her two 25 dls coupons for future flight for the damn fridge. It's been about 4 years of that incident and that's not even the worse one. Anyways, the point is, it happened here in the US. Human stupidity never ceases to amaze me.:(

Who cares how they are going to handle the staffing situation? It is their problem. Comair put themselves into this mess, so let them figure it out. We don't get paid to think about this crap. Some of you guys seriously need to let go of Comair and move on.

So then I want you to STOP posting in this forum. Be the example. You talk down a lot about/to what people say and discuss in this forum. Your HATRED towards Comair is so intense, nothing you SAY is good. Granted Comair mgmt (with the help of 3825ing Delta) has made is so. However, some of us do have a valid curiosity and intentions that are in line with what this forum is about -the discussion of Comair issues, whether we go back or not-, and yours are not. So with that in mind, take your hatred, put downs, snarky remaks, and in general your nasty attitude and GO AWAY. You hate this so much, you should be making the example of not entertaining any talks about Comair. So with that said SPOILERS, either grow up and chill, or just GO AWAY.
Have a great day!.

I think you need to let go of Comair:) Let the people that have hope for things to get better to continue to have hope.
