Interesting decision coming up...work for less or close the company down.

another sad day in aviation...

I dont think there is a chance the judge will allow a strike. The pilots also dont want to strike. Those that do are the most senior captains. Everyone knows that with this contract getting tossed, Comair is in a better position to get more airplanes and more flying from Delta. All this is going to do is make some pilots leave for other carriers.

how much are they reducing pay?

93% of the Comair pilot group voted YES to a strike. I would say they are willing to strike.

Unfortunately, I do think you are right, the judge will most likely block any work action.

5-7% I think...

I don't understand how a "judge" can block a unionized pilot strike. I don't see how that is against the law. If that is the case where the company can just cry to a judge. Then what good is the union at all?

This day sucks for everyone... that has a union.

don't get me wrong im not calling you out but be careful with the wording. 93% of the pilots that voted authorized a strike but it doesnt say how many voted. it will be interesting to see what happens.


"Comair pilots overwhelmingly supported the union’s strike authorization ballot with more than 93% of the responding pilots voting in support of the measure."
