Hopefully you guys can help me out I don't feel like being on hold w/IT for an hour...emaestro, what does it require software wise to run. I opened it up on epic at home and I went to login and nothing happens. I know I used the right password/username combo because it works over at the trailers, but I can't use it on my computer. I doesn't give me any error messages or do anything. Any ideas??? I'd appreciate it!!
All of comairs online stuff really prefers microsoft products. (microsoft sucks) However I doubt it was your computer as I couldn't log into emessedupo all day either. Finally logged in tonight.

So where do you go after you are done with IOE? Are you flying the line for your 100? Then what have they told you?

It defiantly seems like Freedom has taken over. Yesterday was my last flight for a long time, Back to Long Call after almost a year of having a line. Thanks all to FRE_DUMB. Lots of freedom “Pilots” standing around all over terminal 2 and 3, all smiling because they are back and flying routes for delta. I understand that it’s not so much their fault, as it is of management, and so I won’t resort to the level of some of the Delta pilots that don’t even acknowledge you exist as you pass them. I will try my hardest to be polite to the Freedom pilots, but when they take money out of my pocket, it’s pretty hard. They did decide to go and work of that company. I had 3 of them commuting back home with me last night all sitting up in first class. Man cant we just get rid of these guys. They are like cockroaches!

its only going to get worse. Go on delta net under network planning and you can pull up the schedules for nov. The only routes comair does on the 50 is

YYZ
YUL
YHZ
CVG
RDU
BOS
ORD
CLE
BGR
PVD
IAD (twice during the entire month)
STL
BWI
DCA

Yep thats right. Hopefully the judge will set a trail date already so we can get on with this. I just want to know either 1 way or another.

This quote about sums up all airline pilots. OK, as a legacy guy now, why shouldn't I be complaining about RJ guys taking my flying. Doing the exact same thing you are trashing the freedom guys with. The major airlines don't care weather you came from Comair, Mesa, RAJ, or GLA. All those pilots are doing is what is best for them. When I was a CMR, I don't know how many guy whined about being on RSV or not upgrading in a year. Well to them I say, why didn't you give up 5 yrs of your life go to GLA or Mesa, upgrade in less then two yrs and get out. One reason why anyone including myself goes to Comair is, they couldn't get hired by someone else. This "job" is about getting to the top of the ladder as quick as you can, ALPA designed it that way. So, you can race up the ladder or you can stop at each rung. Inorder to do that you have to make a sacrifice, 2 yrs at cmr, not wanting low pay, whatever. Comair is now a fly by night place, my guess is airline ops will end, because they can't schedule, and MTZ and ground ops will grow. Good luck and before you think of trashing someone think about what you are really saying. I know my life now would be easier if anyone that flew a jet airplane didn't do it for cr@@y wages.

While I feel your pain it is a two way street. After Delta took the 900's away from Freedom I had to jumpseat on a Mesa 900. While it was Mesa we all know it is pretty much the same as Freedom. I was treated very nice by the Mesa crew and had no problem getting on board. They are just trying to get ahead in this game we call "Livin the Dream".

I seriously doubt that the 16 lines at Freedom for the month has "Taken over"
And For Oct 49 lines in JFK, 0 in MCO, 0 in CVG. way less then before the incident.
Just face it 50 seaters are on the way out

You guys need to get over the whole "Freedom, CHQ, etc. stole our flying..." That's just the way it works. It's not just at Comair, it happens at other regionals as well. SkyWest taking over ASA routes, Mesaba taking over Pinnacle routes, etc. Comair is a "reserve airline" for Delta. Better get used to it, nothing we can do...

Thats a pretty arrogant thing to say, just remember that it in not the pilot group that is the deciding factor, it is the management of each airline and the court system of our country that is causing this to happen. Talk to a few of these guys and you will see they are all fed up with Mesa work rules and pay, and they are trying to get a better contract...

I do wish we had more flying coming our way, but please try to keep your arrogance down, you make us sound like a bunch of high & mighty pilots
