Just remember guys, labor is a (should be a)FIXED COST, it's managements problem to deal with budgeting.

Everytime i talk to scheduling they tell me that they're stressing to find coverage for the 70/90. I'm willing to bet it's a matter of time before they have a small base up here. Especially if we get Freedumb stuff.

I think the management should treat these guys with respect and see them as an asset to the company, a resource, not a cost.
The big costs are when you continiously have to train new pilots all the time.

Experience means nothing to them.

I spent 10 yrs at Comair, recently got released for time served. Comair flat out does not want pilots to stay there. At 10 yrs, 8 as a crj cvg CA, I was 12 numbers from rsv and had 11 or 12 days off, mostly 4 and 5 day trips. Life looked like it didn't get any better until about 15 to 17 yrs, the only difference between my sched and theirs was weekends off. That is why the trips are so bad. Leaving Comair was the best thing that ever happened to me, even if I get laid off-NWA. Message to new people, stay as far away from there as you can, each day you spend there is a day wasted somewhere else. 5-7 yr upgrades aren't worth it....Good luck and good riddens

WHERE ELSE SHOULD I GO? my friends who jumped ship to xjet and skywest are in A MUCH worse position than I am...... so where should I go since I am wasting my time?
