I don't remember the time exactly but there was at one point. There were also a lot of politics involved. He was also the head when the group got an industry leading contract and lead the group through the strike. So at that time he had a lot of positive forward momentum. He was all about the power and staying in it.

For example, say:
20% agree with the decision, or just have blind trust in Lawson's leadership
20% have no clue because they fly their trips and go home
20% think it's a bonehead move but have other, more pressing concerns when they decide how to vote for reps
20% read the letter, but don't understand the ramifications because they don't apply critical reasoning skills
20% read the letter, know this will backfire on a generation of Comair pilots, and vow to do something about it the next chance they get to vote.
Is this pilot group any different than the Delta pilot group?
Is this group likely to yank Lawson off the throne overnight?
In this scenario, are all Comair pilots unanimous and complicit in Lawson's offence?

I feel so much for the Comair guys and gals. The fact that i knew this outcome about 2 months ago makes it even more painful! (I knew but I was sworn to secrecy!) I was hoping there would be a last minute deal to sway their minds! I will truely love and cherish the time I spent at Comair, and I whole-heartedly thank Comair for taking a chance on a 1500 hour pilot in 2005. (believe it or not I was considered a low time guy back then!)

It is my hope that all the Comair threads will be officially closed on 9/29 along with the rest of the company. For whatever reason Comair has joined the list of extinct airlines.
All the threads have become the armchair quarterback blame game! I only have 6 years at Comair. But for whatever reason the company is done. I am looking at this as a fresh start. The sun will still rise tomorrow.
I already have a non airline interview next month and in the past 2 days I have had former coworker's offering to walk my stuff in at various carrier's who are about to hire. All non regional! You would have to force me at gunpoint to work at another regional! You name the company there is probably some former Comair pilot working there.
Feels like the 600lb gorilla is off my back now that the bullseye is off of us! Someone else is next. I think the regionals will continue to shrink. And really I hope they disappear.

There is a difference between being so outraged over a single issue that the entire group wants him gone, and a good chunk of the group unhappy with the decision that many know about, some understand, and few place as their highest priority.
For example, say:
20% agree with the decision, or just have blind trust in Lawson's leadership
20% have no clue because they fly their trips and go home
20% think it's a bonehead move but have other, more pressing concerns when they decide how to vote for reps

At least until Delta hires!
From one Comair brotheren to another!

Although, I am not at comair anymore I still follow up with buddies. I heard EJ is blocking help from national. You may want to look into it. Sounds like a sell out....
