Rumor around the watercooler is that something interesting is coming tomorrow. JS may be buh-bye and the powers that be may be dropping another DCI head-bottle-washer into the big chair.

Just a rumor. Pay no attention. Overheard conversation.

The downgraded CAs will only be reserve if they bid for it. The 70-seat re-run was because someone forgot to include the bids for the downgraded guys.

Anybody know if first officer soap has purchased any fancy cars or been shopping for large estates lately?

newguy (our current CEO) has been here way too long. You never want to keep a CEO for longer than about 10 months. Very bad for the company's morale.

Yea ***! I want my 1/8th of a ham. Using the ham certificate was actually the one time a year I would buy bacon...they have pretty good bacon there.

Fr: J.S.

Re: Re-retirement

To all of my dear friends at Song...er...Songair...whoever you are. It's been an interesting 11 months, 29 days, 14 hours, 37 minutes and 8 seconds since I took the reigns (not that my wife and I have been counting). I would like to thank each and every one of you little people for working hard to make me look so damn good. I...I mean we...have accomplished much during my tenure at Comair and I'd like to list just a few of our accomplishments:

1. 292 furloughs in the pilot group
2. 100+ FA's on furlough
3. Reduction of our top heavy CRJ-900 fleet. Who needs 14?
4. Successful Spring bait and switch campaign to lure hundreds on property
5. Generous donation of block hours to less fortunate regional carriers
6. Successful implementation of morale diminishing programs such as:
  • surprise paycheck garnishments
  • destruction of the highly successful ASAP program
  • the addition of security cameras in flight ops
  • eMaestro - that's a thesis all it's own, not a one line success story!
  • The first annual pay to play Holiday party...wait that was canceled
  • The termination of the Honeybaked 1/2 price ham program
  • daily contract violations

Wow, where has the time gone? It is with great sorrow that I say farewell to Songair. I have enjoyed all of the photo opportunities, the Songair update conference calls (remember...YOU are responsible for your own morale!) and dissecting this once proud airline, piece by piece.

It is with much excitement that I announce that I have accepted a new position as the CEO of Glamor Shots International. My photogenic face, unlimited ability to pose as well as an uncanny ability to bring people together will certainly make me an ASSet to Glamor Shots.

As you all continue your short journey aboard the Titanic of regional airlines, I wish you all the best finding a lifeboat since there is now one less.

Chapagne wishes & caviar dreams,

J.S.

Maybe Bornhorst will be coming back to Comair exile island; since he f'ed up the challenge by trying to yank Pinnacle's contract and ticking off Richard Anderson, a long time friend of Phil Trenary, in the process.

Yeah, I know the Survivor analogy is lame. Nothing better to do than watch reality tv and post on APC. Waiting to start a new job is killing me with boredom.

Bornhorst runs DCI right now, so it would only make sense for him to head any merged group.
