You do know that Joe doesn't work for Comair?

 

Yep, mistake. As a DAL new-hire in Jan of 2001, I walked the line with the ComAir folks during the summer of 2001 in MCO. Many days. Got furloughed on Oct 31 2001 from DAL.

Better?

Never again.

 

He talked about filing a motion on behalf of the CMR pilots. What should I assume?

 

Every time you see a management/hr/office type at a regional airline, their salaries are paid exclusively through the wage concessions extracted from regional pilots. And theres a lot of them.

 

So what you are saying is that you would punish the good dudes at Comair for this guys comments on a public forum? Not sure if he is a Comair guy or not...and i don`t really care, but one bad apple does not ruin the rest of the crop.

 

If this dude does not work for Comair this post should be deleted for flamebait moderator.

 

In this business it's every pilot group for themselves and within each pilot group, its every pilot for himself. Unity within the profession as a whole is a mythical concept only and ALPA is simply a DIR (Dues Income Receiver) trying to hang on to every income dime it can.

ALPA stood by while other carriers like TWA and Midwest were devoured in the depths below them and left for dead, so you can forget ALPA "putting up" anything for (i.e., saving) any carrier with the possible exceptions of UAL or DAL because the loss of one of those would basically bankrupt them, thus devestating the upper elite's wealthy lifestyles. If the forces that be decide Comair is toast, plan your next career move, because you are basically all alone. Geez..........reading a lot of these posts, one can see Comair's blood is already attracting sharks hungry for a bite at the carcass.

RIP Comair and welcome to the abyss. As time marches on, more of the sharks will devour their like and dispatch them to join the previous carcasses, while the great whites of herndon circle above clear of the melee and fatter then ever from the scraps that rise from what they could or would not stop.

Ah, to be a modern day airline pilot....................

 

Joe Merchant works for ASA.

 

God forbid one ALPA DCI pilot offer a resolution in support of another ALPA DCI pilot...

I understand the animosity the RJDC caused with Delta pilots...but since that shiat is long since over and done with can pilots stop the childish, exclusionary high school antics and start acting like the professionals they so readily claim to be?

 

Joe is an ASA pilot not a CMR pilot.

There are over 400 of us that work here now that were not around when all that garbage went down.
