I bet pilots back in the golden age days complained about something. "Why do I have to fly with a first officer that talks too much. They should invent something that let them spike up their hair because they are punks; and put some music listening device in their ears so they can leave me alone.” J

What happens if you don't respond within the 10 day window of receiving the recall letter?

I received the call but just let it go to voicemail and Comair still has an old address for me.

I'm not planning on taking the recall, just wondering what happens if I don't respond.

Also is there anyway of getting a refund on the Travelnet access ($50) or keeping my flight benefits if I don't take the recall? I just paid it 2 months ago... Thanks.

Vacancy Bid #2010-04 is out!

233 CA Slots DTW
242 FO Slots DTW

There are also 5x F/O CR2 slots and 11x CR7/9 FO slots for CVG.

This is a voluntary bid! If you want DTW, let yourself get displaced to collect the moving days!

Make sure your standing bids are updated. I am assuming this is the vacancy bid us furloughs can participate in.

You will be removed from the seniority list.

I recommend calling the Pass Bureau about that.

4Runner, I'm sure you're in the same boat as me, here is the thing, if we bypass, some junior guys will be able to come back that otherwise wouldn't. I take the risk of never getting called again, if I happen to get recalled after I bypass I will have been able to honor my current commitment, and because I didn't burn any bridges, I'll make damn sure a Comair Furlough still out on furlough gets my seat. Period end of story. The company will get guys back who want to come back NOW. Win win to me for everyone, but now some of us are faced with burning that bridge and coming back now, and that seat will not be filled by a Comair guy cause that trust will have been lost.

While I will stay out of the debate on bypass... I just would like to point out that these gentlemen you are speaking of would not "move up" a number. While you wouldn't be accruing longevity you would still be accruing seniority. Therefore, when you come back you will still get to upgrade first and you will get your choice of schedule first. You will still be senior. The catch is the guys below you on the list might be getting paid more than you.

So, not sure if you misspoke or just don't know what the situation is.

Not true. CMR could call every one of you back today, and you wouldn't be online in time to cover 200 extra hours of flying in June.

That said, I refuse to pick up OT and wish others would do the same. Let them get so desperate that the chiefs have to get out of the office to cover it.

Where is this 200 extra hours coming from? Is this mostly out of JFK? CVG?

It is just stupid. 200 hours is nothing. They should have the staffing so that they can pick up that slack and not even think about it.
