What happened to all that money, are they still making you guys pay, and how can I get my money back?
It was just a one time payment of $240 and no, you won't be getting your money back. What most people don't realize is most carriers have merger assessments, but most of them are ongoing and get deducted from your paycheck every month. Mesa is one example that I know of and have been told they have over a million in the bank for that. Our guys just asked for a one time payment for a total of around $340,000.

I am guessing that DS didn't quit and that the position was eliminated.

Reading between the lines in JB's memo says there will be no replacement.

JBs position should be eliminated as well considering all he does is get paid to not make any decisions.

Through the years, Dave has distinguished himself as a highly capable, committed and reliable executive," according to the memo. "His deep understanding of operations has greatly contributed to the airline's success."


anyone else chuckle with this line?

DS is gone for a reason; Comair has no future and he is bailing out before it's too late.
