Kentucky Labor Cabinet

Full out the form: Employee Complaint Form (ES-8)

They have completely shown us that they have little or no regard for our personal lives, nor the lives of our families we support.
If they messed with your pay......make a complaint. I talked to an attorney and they said this is the only thing we can do.

Also if you haven't called your CP, they will put your name on a list to get paid. They have 3 days to pay you, or I believe send you a check in the mail.

I heard today that Delta cares nothing about Comair and Delta has no growth for Comair but in the same breath had no shrinkage.

As for the nothing for Comair I dont think much has changed since they have over taken ownership from Comair as is company but the logic of us having no growth make me think I should have stayed where I was, the enemy MESA.

I got my complaint all ready to mail out tomorrow. I hope more than a handful of people do it.

I feel for you guys/gals that are getting hosed. Its all luck of the draw in this game I guess.

I for one would not tolerate Comair pulling all of my money out in a lump sum and leaving me with nothing. You did not quit and a reasonable person would see that the company should eat this money if they decided to furlough you. The company is being very vindictive and we all know it stems from one person over there (DS).

I for one would not come to work for no pay. I would call the chief pilot and tell them since Comair is unable to pay me I am unable to support myself and therefore must look elsewhere and give them notice. I would then go to the KY Labor board and file a complaint.

How Comair can expect you to come to work while you have a zero paycheck is beyond normal thinking. As I said I am not getting furloughed but it really has made an impression on me about how this company cares about its employees. I won't be here long if I can help it and while I am here I am going to do all I can to fight along side every other pilot to better our working conditions.

Oh everyone have fun at hitting for the cure this weekend! Yeh like thats going to happen!


this place sucks!

For some reason it seems to me that the company is doing everything in it's power to make sure you junior guys on furlough don't come back when recalled.

I heard Selvaggio himself was in the meeting today between Comair and ALPA, and as anyone who listened to the net conference knows...he took "full responsibility" for the lack of mitigation and was going to see to it personally.

I guess that didn't happen.

I just cant understand why... it doesnt make since to invest so much in a pilot and then treat him like crap so he doesnt come back... the training costs of bringing a pilot right off the street surely is much higher than bringing a furloughed guy back.

It's not about $$$ to them. It's about beating the morale of this pilot group down to a pulp.

They intentionally spend a dollar to save a dime if it has ramifications on the QOL of the pilots of this airline. This airline has always had a history of poor labor relations with this pilot group and unfortunately that is not going to change any time soon.
