Question for Comair Pilots sitting on the Curb
 
OK for everyone that Comair has put out to the curb, With the flight benefits droping to S3B do our parents keep any benefits as well. Looks like I will be sitting out on the curb come Jan. This was most likely found in Comair Updates however I am not going through 8000 pages to find it. Thanks.

The bastards changed me to S3B the day after furlough. I thought the contract stated that we get full benefits through the end of the month...but I digress.

My parents are still listed as active on TravelNet; so I would assume that if their status were to change, it would have changed when they S3B'd me.

Looks like they'll be good to go status quo.

Not diminishing your furlough (which sucks), but before you whine about S3B, consider that your former brothers and sisters at ASA are now S3C and can't even get on a mainline or Comair flight because of it. And we're S3CC on all the other DCIs, making them impossible. Only buddy passes get on behind us.

I don't have a problem with traveling S3B, it's the fact that Comair broke the contract AGAIN. They are contractually bound to maintain our FULL flight benefits for the first 30 days following furlough.

I understand that it sucks to have lower pass bennies, so I'm willing to help you out: I'll trade your job for my pass bennies. :D

Sorry, but I do not feel bad for you. At least you have a job.

You did acknowledge the furlough, but I still don't think it's all that appropriate to gripe about pass benefits to a furloughee. Just my $.02.

yes but you can still jumpseat while the furlough guy cant. so while you complain about your pass benefits....which isnt anything new since you are no longer owned by delta ....he cant ride jumpseat. i think giving some respect to a furlough guy and letting him go ahead on a flight is a noble thing to do anyway. he might be trying to fly somewhere for an interview, etc. come on asa. you guys are better than that.

The last time I checked, the title of this thread was directed to COMAIR pilots sitting on the curb. I didn't click on this thread expecting to read about ASA's nonrev priorties, and frankly I don't care what they are. The question at hand has to do with the Comair contract and how it applies to the flight benefits of those on furlough.

c'mon man, I get on mainline weekly with my S3c status. It's not as big of a deal as you make it sound.
