Happy furlough anniversary to the January 19th guys!

Just wondering how you guys are doing and what you have found. I had a great phone call this morning offering me an interview at Eagle!

Anyone else get an Anniversary Card and a box of chocolates from Comair?

Here is the card...

Happy Anniversary Dear Pilot Employee!
Hope you enjoy your furlough… he he he

Wish we could bring you back to fly the line
But we don’t care about performance, so we are fine…

We are properly staffed for our mission…
And we don’t want to pay for your aircraft transition.

We might have a canceled flight, here and there…
But guess what? We don’t care!

We have plenty of pilots that can work 15-hour days.
And I’m sure everyone will tell you how much it pays.

We’re still too expensive and freakin’ old
Otherwise Delta would have us sold…

Happy 1-Year Anniversary!

Love,
Comair Mgmt.

congrats on Eagle!

From NG4's first days back in 2008:

2. Installation of the Concourse C printers and computers in Concourse A with reduced staff to keep the printers full of paper
3. Elimination of free earplugs in flight ops.
4. All beverages on aircraft will be tracked like the current liquor kit. FA's will be accountable for their contents. Crews will pay $4 per can of soda.
5. Announcement that there will be no "appropriate replacement" holiday gift to replace the hams.
6. Reduction in block hours to save fuel
7. Announcement that our crew costs are still too high even though we only have 500 pilots on the property and 490 on reserve for scheduling flexibility.
Not too bad.

I guess 337 is not close to 291.

What's the new number? 314?

Partial Credit on 1,3,7

Full credit on 2,5,6

You missed 4 by a long shot. Crews still drink free*.



*pop, water, coffee, and bloody mary mix only

Hey all...looking over the last few pages, and did anyone get an intel dump on "R.A's" CVG flyover? No word on whether he'll send us all over to Vietnam to compete with ASA/Skywest? (not that that's an actual rumor...but crazier things have happened here) Anyone...anyone...?
