For those interested, the JFK bid packets came out today. Only 158 less hours in November than October... could be worse I guess. The trips are worse than ever though.
Check out trip 3897... Day one ends with a deadhead to Birmingham. Day Two starts with a deadhead to Cincy. What a waste! Why not just overnight in LGA and then deadhead to CVG the next morning to operate it back?

Look at the big picture. So you suck up first year pay for another year. You are already typed so training is a no brainer.
I am ahead of you and not being furloughed, however I'll bet if you went to Mesaba you will beat me to the PIC seat by two years at least. And I really think you might beat me by more then that!

It was in an email several days ago for Comair pilots, specifically for those being furloughed I believe.
Speaking of email, anyone see theirs yet about an apparent ASAP incident...long story short the union no longer wants us participating in ASAP and sticking to ASRS instead as a result of management actions. This place is falling apart by the day haha.

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't do it if any of you can find something else to do until this smooths over, or until something happens. There is too much talk out there about merging Comair with Mesaba for anyone to jump right now. Let's say you have 6 months here at Comair and you now leave to get on at Mesaba. If Comair is merged with them, you would then be even further down the list in a date of hire merging of seniority lists. Think about it.... Mesaba(NW) and Comair(Delta) Why would they give Comair pilots priority on hiring. I see it as a way to keep some costs down for yet another year once they do merge the regionals. They get you on first year pay again. my 2 cents
