But they didn't, as shown by the stop of upgrades and hiring.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! Its like management at Comair, Delta, and every other major airline operates on a mentality of "let's do this and just see what happens", without thinking anything through.

P.S.....sorry to all that had hopes of starting at Comair. Good Luck in finding other jobs.

I've been saying this for the past three and a half years, totally agree... sorry guys and gals.

Really? I started in April right when they started talking about 300, and I have 100ish under me. So I would have to disagree with that.

I started in May 2007 and only have about 100 below me in Cincy. Not sure about how many are in JFK below me though.

Ah they're not in the bid packets yet, i don't really count anyone till they're off IOE, since they have no impact pushing me up UNTIL they get off IOE.

I hear ya though, hopefully that'll bump me outta reserve.

Man... not gonna lie. This stuff hurts.

It almost makes me wish I didn't love flying so much. Everything logical to me says I should bail on this profession and do something else. But everything else I have (illogical) tells me to stay and fight it out...

I'm tired of this. sorry.
