A couple hours later he's laying on the floor, skin turning gray, already room temperature, and he can't get up.

"Help me get up,", he says, "I've got a plan and I think we can still take these zombies." Then he wonders why all the other guys are circling around him with shotguns and hockey sticks.

Comair is that guy.
To me, this makes a lot of sense.............

Are there that many of you leaving?

That link above is just to show the date of 7/25/2009 when this was posted.

Comair Jobs and Employment Opportunities

That link shows the overall moral at the company and also says that they are accepting resumes. Hmmmm. This should make for a fun day of reading.

Must be old even though it says it's current.

I'm curious to know how this is going to play out.

With the company offering a selection of options for people to take a break and quite a few people biting the hook, you know what's going to happen for the more senior guys.

The people who's quality of life sucks the most right now are going to take one of the packages. Be it a Cola, Voluntary, or Early Out. Well, pretty much everyone's QOL sucks, but you get the point. The guys just above the ones that have been downgraded who think their life is bad now, are going to see how bad is when they become the most junior people in the company now.

Looks like their master plan is working which is why NG4 still has a job. Good luck guys!

By my count only 7 have bid for any of the packages. Just to a look at the current standing bid report. I'm sure that will change closer to the deadline.

I personally know of 10 more that are going to sign. About half and half between early out and 6 month Cola's. All around the 5 and 6 year marks. I wonder though for those guys that want the colas how this will work. They will have to offer colas, early outs and voluntary furloughs at specific times. Else you would have guys take a 2 month COLA and avoid a furlough, then come back to work after two months while guys senior to them would be furloughed. Something tells me those 6 month COLAs are going to be very senior.

FUNNY STUFF! Meanwhile, here in the real world, FA's are not going to be furloughed, but pilots are

Now if you take a COLA, and they furlough during your COLA, do you REALLY avoid the furlough if it goes through your sn#????

Nope.....When your number is up, your number is up!.
Furlough will happen regardless of your status if you are in that group.
