Glad you gave up on Omni. If they do call you for class, my advice would be don't go. Not going to OAI will be the best thing that ever happened to you!

Congrats on Allegiant!

 

Thanks! It's a blessing in disguise I guess. I should still be home-based at SFB, but I was looking forward to doing some globetrotting and getting my days off in a big block to do the exploring/travel I've been wanting to do. So, it's off to learn the Douglas Cable and hopefully bid over to the Bus in short order.

Saw the 2 hour broadcast last night, and a good bit focuses on Jim Polehinke. I thought it was well done, but I dont know if they will show it again. I have not seen anything else about 5191 in quite a while.

Heavy....

 

Hello Everyone.

Hope you all doing well.

 

I am glad to see Eagle, ExpressJet and all other pilot groups(some exceptions of course) remembered the Comair pilots and their fight for a fair contract. Though management used the "remember Comair" and "Comair II" scare tactic, you guys and gals as fellow pilots have shown that by your actions you do remember Comair.


Keep up the fight!!!!

To the orifice that is now running Delta Airlines:

Payback is a MOTHER!!!!!


REMEMBER COMAIR!

I say again

REMEMBER COMAIR!!

 

Yeah, I remember COMAIR..

You're the same *********s that cashed our strike assessment checks in 2000 while we honored your struck work out of CVG to make you the highest paid RJ pilots in the industry..how were we repaid? You guys stabbed all the furloughed Delta pilots in the back after 9/11.

Yeah, I remember Comair..the same *********s who refused to let furloughed Delta pilots sit in the right seat of CRJ's in return for preferential hiring at Delta without giving up their seniority number and eliminating all scope.

Yeah, I remember Comair..the same *********s who enjoyed explosive growth and 1000's of hrs of TPIC time on the backs of furloughed Delta pilots. I bet you still haven't flown a single passenger with a ticket with the same name that you have on your paycheck.

You *********s got exactly what was coming to you. Just think..if you had welcomed furloughed Delta pilots to raise the gear for you in return for their support during your strike..you'd be headed across the pond on an ER right now for some free brews bought by former Delta furloughees. Instead..you're the scourge of the industry and an example of what not to do.

Congrats..*********..you're right, payback is a biutch..

 

Shots fired. Repeat: Shots fired!

 

Here are some more memories of COMAIR..

I remember Delta parking all the 727, 737, and many M88's so that COMAIR could hire 60-100 pilots a month to staff UNLIMITED 50 seaters..

I remember sitting reserve at the Signature Inn off I-75 after my 3rd displacement waiting for my number to come up while Delta furloughed 1310 pilots and their families so Comair pilots could upgrade to the left seat of a shiny new jet within a year..

I remember sitting at Starbucks at CVG on short call when I got the phone call notifying me of my furlough date as I watched Comair crews fly jets hub to hub and non-rev to Paris in first class..

I remember JC Lawson and Dan Ford forming the RJDC and suing the same union that supported them during their strike.

I remember furloughed Delta pilots out for 8 yrs before being offered recall..meanwhile Comair Captains log 5000?, 8000? Hrs of TPIC while furloughed Delta pilots wonder when their unemployment checks run out..

I've got plenty of shots left..bring it..

 

 

Please don't take this as an attack; it is not intended as one... I am young and likely ignorant, and I could probably use the history lesson if you'd like to give one...

But who was it that let the scope "cat" out of the bag? Was that invented during bankruptcy, or had mainline pilots started selling the "little airplane" flying before that"
