Seniority, longevity, whatever. The point is, you get back to work and we keep our current jobs and we come back at a later date while you're building flight time and getting a paycheck. As a matter of fact, superpilotjesse, you were the one wishing guys that are senior to you lose our seniority numbers and get booted to the curb if we want to bypass. But it's all about you right??? You're what is referred to as a S.N.A.P., a sensitive, new aged pilot. I know you have to pay off your Riddle loans and you're nervous about flying with the big bad Cincy captain who yells at you for missing radio calls and tells you to remove your ipod but you'd be getting back to work sooner cause at least 10 of us getting recalled would like to bypass. And not because we don't want the job as you have expressed in your previous posts but because we have other obligations and don't want to burn bridges. But on behalf of all the recall guys, we'd like to thank you for wishing us the best. You keep your head up and your student's on the centerline and we'll see you soon SuperpilotSNAP. Oh, and fellas, Natties for all, china buffet, a replacement for Big Red, $1 beers courtesy of my man skills, bigger and better 16oz Mt. Dew, we'll pour some natty out for B and stockpiled $.25 wings. See you on the 1st Big!
I don't have any student loans, thanks. Didn't go to Riddle, thanks. I got my hours 135, never instructed, thanks.
Sounds like you have some anger issues about some recent life choices. Please don't be mad at me for what YOUR MEC signed you up for.
I hope that I could get along with everyone on this board... even failblazer. We'll just have to agree to disagree. Not like my opinion matters to anyone who matters.

Not mad at you for my decisions. Like my decisions actually. I have a good chunk o' change in my bank account and two jobs lined up for me. I'm irritated that we don't have recall rights like just about every other airline. If we had recall rights, I would bypass, you would get back to work faster and we'd all be happy. We don't have recall rights so I'm exercising my rights as an American and *****ing. However, you don't hold our collective interest in mind. You are obviously part of the ME generation. You have said on this forum that you want the older guys to quit and all of us wanting bypass rights to get fired. Nice. There's nothing wrong with looking after your own best interests, I'm doing that now as I ponder what job to hold onto. However, at no point have a wished a furlough or a termination on any pilot. You have. I want recall rights so that we as a group can benefit which in turn, benefits me and you. You want your job back at my expense because that is what benefits YOU.

The 200 extra hours in June are in CVG. 7-hour 1-day trips, mostly.
For the furloughs who are upset about OT, I understand. The union won't discourage it because it's allowed in the contract. But even if no one picks it up, they'll tag reserves or JM or DS lineholders. I was tagged with extra flying twice in May because every reserve systemwide was flying. But they could only tag me because my trips were so ridiculously unproductive.
Yes, they should be able to cover a couple hundred hours no problem. But this is Comair, that's not how they run things....
