Thats a breakdown of many levels:
The 1 or 2 agents working the minor room who brought them to the gate
The 2 gate agents boarding the flights
The CAAs (if they were involved) who took to them to their aircraft
The FAs who accepted the minors.

RJ,

any idea on what the buyout for the senior guys will look like? I mean is it going to be something insulting or will comar/delta dig into their pockets?

I honestly have no idea. Anything I say about that would be pure speculation on my part.

If Comair is serious about getting as many senior pilots out as possible to lower their cost structure in the long run, it is going to have to be a pretty lucrative offer. We will see.

Although I admit I am NOT a very pro-union advocate, (Just my opinion and no disrespect) I beieve the comments were made partly in a sarcastic fun yet slightly aggravated fun tone. I do not believe anyone here FULLY believes the union is doing nothing and believe me, I have been pointing out the lack of leadership of our rotating management for the last four years. Peace

I understand that this was probably sarcastic, but lots of us bust our a$$e$ day in and day out, most of the time on our days off, for this pilot group and instead of thanks we usually get kicked right in the teeth by the very people we are helping. So, yeah, I take those comments very personally.

Trasher, the following statement is not to reflect the work habits of you or anyone else, and is purely a funny movie quote that fits in appropriately here.



"He worked really hard grandma"
"Yeah, so do washing machines!"

If you can name that movie without looking it up on the interweb, you'll earn a very special prize.

Christmas vacation, of course. One of the best movies ever!

It's a thankless job I know, as is being a pilot. Welcome to the industry.
