So what is so good about, best case scenario would 50 guys get a ATP.
SB told me back on September 1 that this was a done deal, just waiting for the final paperwork from the feds. He said EVERY FO at OH will be getting the ATP and Type on their recurrent checkride. My answer was "Well, I just did my recurrent, and you're now telling me I'll probably be furloughed (again) before it is time for my next recurrent." His reply, "Ohhhh"
Here it is 6 months later, and they still aren't doing what he said was a "done deal". That place (and it's management) is a joke. Sooooo glad to not be there anymore!

Although I don't work there anymore, it's kinda like a car wreck...you just gotta look. They really should make a soap opera called "Days of Our Airline, Life At Comair"

Really I always saw him as Pink in "The Wall", sitting in that chair all alone with a cigarette burning his yellowed fingers, while Gomer Pyle plays in the background.

That can't be right.

I've always been under the impression that Blazer was Briner. Even though we all laughed at blazer, he was right on how bad it would get

I heard today that OH ALPA has a law suit against DL and RA for unethical practices toward OH. Specifically, with RA giving flying to a company that his family members have a large share. Supposedly, OH ALPA members were asked to go and talk to Congress members about this.
Has anyone heard anymore info about this.

I would be surprised if ALPA did anything that would be good for the pilot group.
