Your description of the vast majority of those hired simply isn't accurate... there were CFI, 121, 135, 91 jobs... all represented.
Try thinking outside of the box a bit when it comes to defining "being screwed". There's more to life than just gaining a little bit of flying experience. There were families involved, other than flying careers, prior flying opportunities, TIME, MONEY. For example... I estimate my financial losses, as a direct result of Comair hiring me then immediately furloughing me, to be in the ballpark of $50000 lost income. My previous income over 1.5 yrs - Comair income/unemployment income/present income = ~($50000)
I'm not sure why you would want to push this agenda. You might just want to apologize and move on with life. Good luck to you.

I agree. It is everywhere, look at all those people that the mortgage companies "screwed over" by loaning them money for houses they could not afford. And look at all the people that get "screwed over" by the payday loan companies who charge them high interest. And look at all those people that get "screwed over" by bars that over serve them, then they drive home and get DUI's. If we could just get these "other" folks (not us) to take responsibility for their actions, the world would be a better place.

This is such a stupid ****ing match. Everybody got screwed. I think it was him saying those guys were lucky to get the training and time and not just sent home. Who got screwed more guys at Comair for over a year or barely on proerty?

Your comparison to those that tend to try to shift blame for their bad circumstances is incongruent. How on earth do you compare someone that has had too much to drink and blaming his circumstances on the bartender to an individual that has in good faith accepted a job offer from Comair?
Everyone makes mistakes, myself included. You deserve a mulligan for this one.

Do I understand you correctly that you think that people that were hired and then furloughed almost immediately were not 'screwed over'?

Well it looks like Atlantic southeast has been asked by Delta to handle more flying thus the total recall. It also looks like they are adding 5 more line check pilots for future growth. My question to all here, who did not believe me, what has Comair done to show future growth for you? Looks like what I have been saying is starting to take shape...

Medical cards took about three weeks to come for me, but you can use the benefits without the card if you ask HR for the policy number.
