Unless I read it wrong we have to pay yield fare for our pass benefits. Also I am a very junior guy on property so the package is about as good as I could have hoped for, however I suspect senior guys and gals will not be to thrilled with this.

I'm just throwing this out there. I haven't read the agreement at all, however, I'm going to state the obvious. Comair is going away. Out of business. Kaput. I'm sure the MEC negotiators did the best job they could to get what they could for severance for the pilots. Unfortunately, they most likely had ZERO leverage with the company going under and likely had to bargain hard for every penny they could get.
What leverage did the negotiators have to bargain with? What my knowledge of how negotiations work, my guess is not much to nothing at all. My guess is they had no bargaining capital to use and were in no position to be making demands for things. I'm sure they had to fight for every cent. Perhaps a thank you to them is in order for getting what they could out of Delta.
I don't mean to sound insensitive. I'm just trying to be realistic about things. Let's face it, everyone at Comair is getting screwed. Everyone. I'm sure the negotiating team did the best job they could to minimize the screw job as much as possible for as many people as possible.

It does say if a furloughed pilot is receiving pass travel benefits as a result of any prior Letters of Agreement, such pass travel benefits shall continue for whatever the remaining maximum duration of the furlough would have been under the pre-shutdown CBA or such Letters of Agreement or Company programs.
When all the furloughs went down back in 2008 travel benefits were negotiated for all the furloughs with Delta. So I see it as we are receiving travel benefits under a previous LOA.
