Regarding the bypass issue, I thing having the ability to bypass and not lose seniority is a possitive for all of us. This will allow a lot of people that want to buypass to be able to do it which will speed up the prcess of going down the list.

There are tons of things the company could do to make life easier on our crews. Even Scheduling wants more of you guys back on line than what we've recalled. But the union/Scheduling don't make those decisions.

I’m glad that things are changing and the union is paying more attention to the staffing levels at Comair. I hope their efforts will bring all of us back to work very soon.

The big topic of interest was eMaestro.

I understand people had to maybe sign contracts and other things that would prevent them from coming back... I'm sorry.
But that's the deal.

Many will accept recall because they fear it is thier last and only chance to get back into flying. If they have the ability to bypass they may be more likely to stay at thier current nonflying job a little longer because they know they can return later.
