I felt bad because the CA (who accidentally answered his phone, thinking it was his wife) was sitting at the airport waiting for me to ferry the plane for about 2 hours, but I made them really work to get a hold of
Our contract requires your hotel room to have a door which can be locked.

They still say they need JRFs and C7Fs..so New hires should be fine

Just no upgrades

New VB supposedly issued soon (for FO slots only probably)

All that's required is majors to start hiring again, DL is project to hire at the end of the year. Hopefully this'll only be temporary.

As long as fuel is so high, corporate CEO's receive bonuses and astronomical pay for poor performance and airlines refuse to raise ticket prices... this will just continue.

They forgot to add "Congrats to the entire Comair team" and "We apologize for the inconvenience."

I guess we didn't get that "potential growth".

29 FOs who had upgrade classes will not be upgrading this time around. There's always next year.

Upgrade in November would have been down to 5 years. When the sorting is done we'll see how long upgrades will be now...
