COMAIR is in it's situation simply because they cost too much to operate the types of equipment they fly and the amount of revenue the operation generates for "Big D". Bottom-line is "meat in the seat" (pilots) as cheaply as possible. Customer service that was once legendary at Delta has taken a backseat to profitability and cost reduction.

I still think that Delta's intention is to shut us down; though I am sure they would love to get a very favorable contract from pilots, what pilots do means nothing if the others don't play ball. Here's how I would handicap this: 65% chance we are shut down outright. 20% chance of some sort of hybrid arrangement that calls for some airplanes/crews to go elsewhere. 15% chance of new contract with drastically low rates (lower than gojets) and hope for expansion. Of course, Comair could merely be a stalking horse to used in negotiations with Pinnacle. |
You know what we will all feel Friday? Relief. No matter what happens, we will feel relief. Unless of course Delta kicks the can down the road again....

My question is: what will happen to my flight benefits that were set to expire OCT 2013? Five years after furlough?
Please say extended. |

I would imagine since ops would cease, active pilots would be terminated, not furloughed, and all benefits would not exist. However I wonder about COBRA, since it is partial employer and employee paid now. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If Comair shuts down all Pass Benifits will cease no mater if you're retired, took a buyout or got furloughed. We have never been employed by Delta. This came right from the Pass department.

nevermind.....

I wonder if the almighty PresBo had a talk with Richard about putting 3000 more people on the street during an election year? Not going to help his job numbers!
Maybe we have a snowball's chance in hell that we will survive! |
