I would just give the pass bureau a call to get that info. They may not have even ironed out the details yet.

Yeah, don't get me wrong . . . I guess I kind of spouted off a bit. I just used your post as a springboard for all the furlough benefits/non-benefits conversation I have read over the last month.

I think one thing that happened last furlough was that there were differences in the furlough procedures between the bases. It just goes to show how much Comair doesn't know what they are doing.

I called the travel bureau a few weeks about this and they deferred me over to the CP's office. All of our travel partners can continue to travel. I'm giving out my buddy passes like crazy the last week. My parents and I are flying doing some traveling too. Gotta use them all up and I'm definitely S2ing on any flight I that looks questionable.

well, i guess its good that we are getting extended pass benifits. although all it says is comair and delta operated aircraft... which really meens only delta, because comair isnt going to be flying anywhere next year.

also i like how in the email it states that the 'company' has been working on it, nothing about the union. sounds like union busting 101

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?

I just sent my resume to the contact at Mesaba the other day. I'm a Oct 5 victim, I would have no problem resigning numbers just going from the bottom of one list to another.
