No buddy passes on NWA operated flights till SOC and then it's a moot point anyways since they will all be Delta operated flights.

There really is a lot of bickering here about a Comair Mesaba merger. Remember that Mergers and Aquisitions are a tricky Animal. Did America West and USAir get integrated fairly? How about American and TWA?

Bendoritis does not want a merger. He wants to quarantine Comairs Longevity costs and kill them (the flight attendants as well). I think he feels that he will have the leverage when our minimum fleet garuntee expires.

This will not be his choice. Just like all of our presidents.... he is just a yes man that follows directions from ATL. Has anyone seen anything new or innovative out of his management?

IF someone over Bendoritis's head directs a merger.... That's where the assesment comes in and the two pilot groups go to war.

Evidently our lawyer thinks DOH would be a bit of a "hail mary" but within easy reach would be a percentage integration from a Date of when the merger was first announced.

In other words.....

If you were a captain (not downgraded) a year ago, you would be integrated as a Captain.

IF you were not yet a captain a year ago, you would be integrated as an FO.

There would still be 4, 5, and 6 year FO's that would be forced to endure flying with 3rd year captains, and I think that a merger like this would get real ugly in some cases.

I wonder what would come of Compass. I have heard that it is the Delta Pilot groups desire to give them Delta seniority numbers and simply obsorb them into the mainline.

Lowlevel

Compass absorbed into DAL and tacked on the bottom. Mesaba & Comair merged and becomes Messair, or Comair shrinks and last few hundred pilots are furloughed, equipment goes to Mesaba. OR- Comair shrinks and Comair pilots must interview for a chance to stay at the newly larger Mesaba.

Okay, new member...guess I got sick of just reading APC and wanted to talk to ya'll. Furloughed and missing flying immensely...even the low wages, bad food and quick turns/no rest. Believe me, the grass is not greener here in the real world of non-flying. So, what's it like being a real airline pilot? Lately I've taken to playing with my kids toy planes, while running around the living room making wooshing noises. I think I need help...or another scotch.

A Scotch will do it

LOL That's funny. Try something harder, like that stuff they sell in the duty free shops at 75% proof. That'll put some fire in ya!!!

On Autopilot

More toward the dismantling of Comair. Think Deliverance- "Cmon boy, you know how to squel, squel like a pig boy-

Comair- Sqeeee!!
ATL Louder!
Comair -Sqeeee!
ATL Louder! cmon boy- (starts to disrobe) Louder !
Comair- (being bent over a log) Sqeeeee!
ATL- (pushes Comair down gets ready to sodomize Comair) Louder boy say sqeeeee!
Comair - sqeeeeeeeeeee ....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
ATL -Thrusting (making hump noises)
Comair- Ahhhh hmp! hmp!
Atl (gets done leaving Comair in a post sodomy heap walks over to Compass tied to a tree.)
Mesaba-(Looking aroused says to ATl) he got real pretty lips don't he??
Atl- Aint that the truth!
Mesaba- (Speaking to Compass) Now you listen and you listen good. I want you to pray for me boy you understand? And I want you to pray reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaalllll good too.
Compass- (looks confused thinking he was going to big daddy d) DAMN!!
Big Daddy D- (Laughs like Dr.Evil and smoking a Cuban) The Fools! There all my Bi9ches!

fjetter

That might have been a bit much....we all know Comair is a puppet with ATL pulling the strings

I understand your frustration with Comair and Delta, but this post is tasteless. This type of post is better left for airliners DOT net.

Auto man, that was brilliant!.......LMAO
