The company wants as many people as possible to leave. They will not recall or hire anyone. A recall or hiring would be positive news; it would go against what the company is trying to accomplish. The management at Comair would love to see every single pilot leave the company so they can hire inexperienced cheap labor or shut us down.

First Officers will continue to leave at larger numbers than Captains which will lead to more downgrades. The downgraded captains will have an easy decision to make; leave Comair for a better paying job because they can’t afford to live on FO pay. Comair gets what they want and we get the shaft as always.

I just wonder what the company will do if some of those 62 are leaving? Are they just letting them go or are they still looking for 62 downgrades?

As far as I can see, they plan for around 850 pilots on the list at ECD, but I think we will have less than that towards the end of the year
About 300 more pilots before they sell us or shut us down

There were about 975 active pilots on the list after checking all bid packages for April. That number could be slightly off since so many are changing categories and are in training and bid production seems to have a hard time figure out where the heck they are.....But it's close to that number anyway.

We have 2 early outs planned for April (1 C7C and 1 DRC), and we also have 1 C7C retiring in the next couple of days.

So what's with schedulers giving out SD's for calling in sick. I got my second one in recent months. The first one, I woke up feeling bad during my window, but didn't have anything on my line yet. They called me later to try and give me something and it was then I called in sick. She said I wasn't allowed to do that.?! I should have called in the night before and you're not allowed to call in during your window. Where is this written down?

The other day, I called in 90 minutes before a Ready Rsv. She gave me an SD for giving too short notice. I guess you have to give two hours notice. I guess when I feel bad, I'm only suppose to call in at certain times?

I believe the flight crew policy manual states you need to call in 4 hrs prior to duty if you are sick. It is still bs

So what happens if you get food poisoning? Guess you should see that you're going to $hitty looking restaurant and plan ahead.

Saxman,

I also started to feel sick more frequently when I knew I wasn't going to be working there much longer

Ironic, isn't it??
