Surprise, suprise! Payroll f###ed up again! 
"Please read the attached memo from Dave Soaper, Senior Vice President of Aircraft Operations, and Dan Dixon, Chief Financial Officer, regarding your March 2 pay increase. This increase was inadvertently left off of your March 1 advance, which includes your guaranteed pay for the first half of the month. Payroll is currently cutting manual checks for the difference, and these will be mailed to your home address on record this week."

Oh and they're coming up with a buyout for senior pilots due to the fact that they're keeping the operational costs up, but that "Age 65" was a double edged sword (heard that several times during the call). On one side it keeps pilots in the cockpit with the "pilot shortage", but on the other hand it keeps operational costs high due to paying the senior guys payrates.

If I read that right, I'll be getting a check for 19 bucks and some change for the 51 cents/hr that was left off? After taxes its not worth the paper its printed on. At least they admitted it, but I don't like them holding on to anything thats rightfully mine... even if it was a 'mistake.'

I loved the part about "needing to operate on minimum staffing".
A.) why isn't the union knocking down the door for this comment
B.) how are they going to cut staffing anymore when we're short pilots everryywheeerrreeee

Or better yet, how is minimum staffing going to allow us to accept flying from other companies or Delta itself? Even if the opportunity presented itself, its not like people are knocking down the door to come here and Comair has one of the longest training programs around.

Also, I don't recall hearing about any pilot staffing cuts.

The comment was made just a few hours ago. I don't think the union has had time to "knock down the door". Believe it or not, there is a process that these things have to go through, rather than just "knocking down the door". Give it time, man. Trust me, they're on it. Eventhough you may not get a detailed update and itemized report each day, they are on it.
Also, I don't recall hearing about any pilot staffing cuts.
