If Milton gets to the office first, he wont have to worry about it.

As if someone is really minding the store and watching the details over in the GO? You are giving the management folks way too much credit. We're too busy looking for ways to save twenty dollars to even notice when a few million dissapear.

And I bet half the execs that quit this year take their computers with them. Our IT just got outsourced to Minneapolis, so who's even left to keep track of that stuff?

At the rate we're both furloughing, Comair and Mesaba will only need a penny in their merger fund.

The Comair guy will flip the penny. The Mesaba guy will call it. And whoever wins gets to be the Captain. And the other guy will be the first officer. And they will each get a pager and that will be that. Simple.

Just keep it under 50mil and you can go to club fed instead of a federal "pound you in the arse prison"

Excellent parallels! Hard to believe that movie is 10 years old!

But who are the "Bobs"?

Richard Anderson and Don Borhorst!

Hate to inject reality into what is this fun Office Space thing, but go back and re-read the memo. IT is not going away; just the help desk. There will still be IT staff in CVG, but all help desk calls will be fielded in MSP.

Not the first to go either; they announced months ago that supply chain (finance) would be eliminated at the wholly owneds and would be done at the mainline DL level.

With formation of RHS, and elimination of Customer Service, expect to see reductions in HR, IT, and Finance in future as Comair goes from employing 6000 to half that.

Now return you to your regularly scheduled (if accuracy challenged) rants.
