RHS starting pay

[1Conehead]

Also, as of late June all RHS/Comair employess will not be able to use S2 for travel on DL Mainline. S2s will only be allowed on Comair flights. There are some other details on a Memo taht was posted on DeltaNet.......

Only fair since mainline can't S2 on connection.
Also it is getting harder to non-rev on any flt.(if there are less paying passengers,capacity gets cut.) Good for business bad for non-revs.
Remember when 60% was considered a great load factor?

LOL.

I never got to experience that.... When I started, the station I worked at had 4 flights/day. Rarely did they go out less than 100% full. I learned very fast that non-revving wasn't going to be a big part of my NW experience.

One of the Benifits that will be taken away for new hires is, The 6 yearly buddy passes will no be availiable in travelnet until the employee has put in one year of service.

Is S2 the normal listing for regular non rev travel or is it S3? The main thing I am trying to find out is if the "RHS" airlines that are wholly owned still have the same unlimited ($50 a year) travel benefits on any of DL's wholly owned airlines (be it on mainline or Comair, Compass, Mesaba)? Thanks to all who have responded. I know when ASA was sold to Skywest, they had the same benefits for a while and then went to S3D then S4. Again thanks for all your help! Just trying to see if Comair employees will remain S3 on mainline (for commuting reasons).

Comair and in the future RHS will fly S3C. This would place them behind all Delta employees, family, and retired. However, they will maintain they status on Delta Connection flights.

Also, 70% of Comair flights are now out of the northeast (JFK) and most of the Pilots and FAs commute. Delta is making it very hard to Comair to be successful. What happens when all these pilots and FAs can't make it to work?

Maybe they should live in their base.

Maybe they should live in their base.

Most of them were recently displaced from CVG due to the shift in flight hours to JFK. And commuter clauses are built into the Pilot and FA contracts. Comair's and by extension Delta's success in JFK will rely heavily on the commuter.

Not true! Mainline can still S2 on Comair, Mesaba, and Compass while none of those employees can S2 on mainline. It's a shaft to the OH and XJ workers!

Drug test washouts are on the decline. Perhaps it's getting harder to pay for drugs...

The better number to know would be how many failed the wizz quiz.

This is based on the assumption that RHS will receive flight benefits. As a new company there is no guarantee that any benefits will be offered. At CVG there were several companies that used to clean aircraft that did not receive flight benefits. In a sense, ground crew contracted by a regional carrier could be the same as any other airport employee. RHS would not be airline employees and could be denied flight benefits. They would have no direct link to the airlines they service. The company issuing their checks own no aircraft so they could be told they have no right to fly.

By Comair starting to change employees benefits to S3C, it could be the beginning of fazing out benefits completely for the new ground/gate contracted employees.

I post this because I use to work for Delta and when I went to work for Comair I was hired a s a completely new employee. Different company equaled different seniority, different benefits, etc. The reason being that Comair was a wholly owned subsidiary but a different company entirely.

If RHS is a wholly owned subsidiary with its own hiring/firing practices there is nothing to say that RHS employees will be entitled to any of the same benefits of the parent company.
