So that's why the pilots at OH don't care for the CP's. They (ONE) does give the impression of bieng ANAL.

I think you understand my statement and I don't need to clarify the intent of a resignation letter.

All I'm saying is this: I'm sure Comair doesn't care about Mesaba's hiring practices and when the rubber meets the road, when needed, they would like to lure their employees back. If you don't think that's true... well, okay. We'll just have to wait and see what happens when/if it ever happens. I know what I was told... I got the sincere impression that Comair (or at least the CP) wasn't HAPPY about furloughing their pilots and I have a shred of humanity and optimism left in me to think he meant what he said.

I can email him again and see if he's still planning to shred resignation letters if you want?

That's great and all that your CPs might care. But here's the reality... if someone RESIGNS, as in QUITS and LEAVES THE COMPANY they will not get recalled. When you resign you give up all rights for recall and have separated from the company.

I still want to know when you think a company would take a resignation seriously? If I were HR and received a letter of resignation, why wouldn't it be taken as such?

I wouldn't resign my seniority if I didn't have to. It's a hard decision to make and I certainly understand the reluctance to do so, but we always have to make hard decisions. It's something that should be taken seriously... from both sides.

I'm glad you think contracts are unbreakable... as in losing all recall rights and not being recalled. Comair breaks our contract all the time... why wouldn't they break it to suit themselves AND its pilots for once? You think anybody would complain because 206 furloughed pilots got their jobs back? The worst I can see happening is a pilot gets recalled after resigning and the guys below him throw a fit because they didn't move up a spot. I would be ashamed to be the guy complaining about giving another pilot his job back.

That's just me thinking out loud.

Just thinking out loud... but I would presume that when you resign from a company, you are removed from the seniority list. Therefore when there is a recall, you are not there to be called. I dunno... seems like the logical thing to me.

At least my posts are based on a REAL conversation with a REAL person whereas you guys just want to speculate about what will or will not happen to a company where you're not even employed. Keep up the speculation, it's entertaining. I'll be interested to see how long Delta keeps pouring the gravy on your train.

No speculation going on here. We're talking about what happens when someone resigns. If a letter is sent to HR, with the words in it that I AM RESIGNING, how is that not clear that you intend to resign? If you resign, you quit. Done. Fini. Finito. You will not get recalled if you don't even exist anymore. Can it get anymore clear?

Are YOU going to govern Comair's HR practices? Are you the resignation letter police? I don't pretend to speak for Comair... I just know what I was told. You ready to drop it now?
