Question for people that actually work at Comair. I'm on A5 this month, obviously no schedule yet for next month (beside getting furloughed) but, they have just assigned me to a trip that extends into November. Can they do this even though we haven't even had a chance to bid for days off? Sorry, contract is not in my hands and somehow I doubt it would be this specific. Thoughts?

Just so everyone has it
Fellow Comair Pilots,
It is with utter disgust at Comair Management that I write to you today. After five hours of meetings today the company is not interested in any real Furlough Mitigation other than flex line value. Many of your ALPA representatives had high hopes for today's meeting but the company wanted to waste time just as they have taken their time in rectifying your pay. Tonight a VARS message will be coming out which will detail this meeting in greater detail.
In regards to the Paycheck error that Comair Management has caused the company is attempting to rectify the situation in the following incorrect way.
Anyone who had greater than $400.00 removed from their check will receive 2/3 back in a live check if your furlough date is 11/05. If your furlough Date is 10/05 no money will be refunded. The reaming crew outfitters balances will be removed from the next two checks.
At 5:00 pm today all checks that the company re-ran have been delivered to the CVG Chief Pilots Office. You may pick up your check their or have it mailed to your address of record. For those of you who are JFK based ask CVG to send it to JFK if you wish.
In no way does your ALPA representation believe that the company has any rights to any of these funds. We will continue to explore all legal means and other remedies in which we can for you to receive not only your full pay but in addition any damages which may have occurred due to this GROSS NEGLIGENCE by the company.
During this process I need each and everyone of you to keep records of any and all damages caused by Comair's mispayment to all Furloughees 10/5 & 11/05 and keep this information until requested. In addition if you feel you have been stripped of pay you deserve please take the steps to contact the Kentucky Labor Cabinet.
Together we will fight this mistreatment until all pilots receive their full pay!
In Solidarity,

I also urge all of those involved in Comair's "paygate" scandal to send in that complaint form to the KY board of labor (posted a few pages back).
The more they get, the higher up the priority chain it goes..which equals more pressure on Comair to get their heads out of their butts.
Kentucky Labor Cabinet
right side of the page..click on
Employee Complaint Form (ES-8)
I'm just as disgusted as all of you, and feeling very indifferent, cause i'm not sure I want to continue working here...but this'll at least cover another base

Looks like we're getting ALL of our money..and none will be taken out unless we quit.
Good job ALPA
Fellow Comair Pilots,
This morning we have awoken to a small victory for all of our Furloughed Pilots in regards to pay.
Because of the pressure in which you have provided by contacting the company, labor boards, and other resources the company has determined it is in their best interest to follow the contract. Please remember they are only doing this because they have realized they are legally required.
Currently payroll is cutting checks to all pilots 10/05 and 11/05 who had greater than a 1/20 deduction of their crew outfitters balance. These checks should be available later today and this weekend in the CVG Chief Pilots Office. If you were already due a 2/3 refund as an 11/05 furloughee you will have two checks. If you would like to have your check mailed to you or if you have further questions on this today please call the Chief Pilots Office so that payroll may focus on cutting manual checks.
Your paycheck total should be 100% of your pay minus your normal deduction on all remaining checks. Any balance remaining on your account will remain after your furlough until such time you are recalled and payments resume. If you resign your seniority number in a recall processes the company will expect payment in full. All of this is discussed in Section 25J of our contract.
In regards to any fees, overdraft amounts, or other charges caused by your incorrect and illegal payment please forward to me all charges that you have incurred so that I may present on your behalf at an October 23, 2008 grievance hearing. Please include all charges in detail with descriptions, and your employee number. Also please feel free to continue any self help methods you have engaged in to include labor boards as we all fight to regain the money lost for each and everyone of you.
It is my hope that Comair Management will continue to explore and means to mitigate furloughs and begin to discuss real solutions with ALPA. We will continue to be open for discussion on all avenues of furlough mitigation that will truly mitigate furloughs but not plans that serve as only pay cuts and attacks on our quality of life.
Together we have accomplished this victory.
