C'mon I have my strong opinions too, but please don't sacrifice this long lasting thread to express them.

 

Long lasting doesn't equal good. This thread just turned into a bunch of whining about our union and Mesa. It is about time the thread got shut down.

 

Oil is trading around $63 today, what does that mean for Comair?

 

No PPAS today?

 

You will get paid less that way Are you trying to help the company?

 

I've always wondered about the aversion to PPAS.

 

No. I don't care on reserve. Stop wasting my time with PPAS!

 

Furlough Update

-Company will not even meet with ALPA to discuss mitigation.
-Company only wanted to extend MOU to keep min line value at 76 instead of the contractually 84ish (where it goes back to at the end of the year)...which would only save about 25-30 jobs (not worth it, frankly)

I spoke to a rep, this is what he had to say. Hopefully this'll shut up some of the people that think the company is on their side. Comair, doesn't give a crap whether we work there or not, or whether we're happy or not. ALPA has no ground to stand on cause of the federal railway labor act and Comair knows it. This is the unfortunate reality that we're all going to get furloughed and there's nothing that ALPA can do about it, because the Aholes in mgmt wont meet to discuss anything with substance.

I also complained loudly about the lack of communication, and he apparently understood that..and working to get some more correspondence out there between us and the union.

Good luck to everyone.

 

hahahah! you crack me up! "Im giving her all she's got Captain!" LOL!

 

What movie? "Captain, Will not be silent!"

Did I hear correctly that their won't be any one in the CP office on Sundays now. A's position is being done away with and so is MM's. A actually made things happen, so that's going to suck. Let's see how much the Maestro Checkout Attendant likes this program now when it screws him over while flying reserve.
