The "can" has been opened.

 

So it was your fault?

A poor IT infrastructure made it impossible to operate the airline during a storm that was certainly rough. A week after the storm passed, the airline was still not operating as a result of the IT/scheduling meltdown.

It was estimated that Comair's failure to perform during that challenge cost over twenty million dollars...or about half what this pilot group eventually gave up in contract concessions after the subsequent bankruptcy.

I was there too...Christmas Eve, standing in line for four hours waiting for an assignment from scheduling...then getting stranded at an outstation for all of Christmas day because of Comair's unwillingness to invest in infrastructure. The crash of SBS was like seeing a shattered window on the ground while crew scheduling tried to glue tens of thousands of pieces back together.

I still believe holding management accountable for failures such as these, and expecting management to create an environment that promotes, rather than hinders, success is not unreasonable.

 

Pilot Vacancy / Displacement Bid Announcement 27-Aug-2008 is on Epic

 

So evrybody start you stop watches till it get cancelled AGAIN

 

102 CRJ downgrades and 7 CR7 upgrades makes only 95 captains displaced total. Not as bad as last time.

"We have modified the number of downgrades due to fleet and utilization updates from network, and as a result, JFK activity suggests less JRC displacements than previously announced in VB 2008-05."

Maybe this means we won't lose as much flying at JFK as originally planned. Still no word on the number of furloughs.

 

YES it says....206 furloughs....in small print in the displacement...okay guys. I need 10 voluntary's................ if we even offer them

 

* Note that the projected positions by category assumes 206 furloughs

its is under the min and max numbers

 

Now I see it. Thanks

 

I see they have to downgrade 76 CAs in CVG. I bet a lot of these guys are going to come over to the 70/90, which means I'll be going back to the 50... Yay! I'm excited!

 

Anyone know what the Eq Match column means on the standing bid report?

Some dudes have one category checked, some don't, some have several categories checked.
