According to the Skywest ramper in ABE this morning who was telling us all about it, Comair's bid was 40% lower than OO's..
Not to mention, the rampers get the shaft if they accept Skywest's transfer package.. If they choose to use that package, Skywest pays for the move, but they lose all seniority at that base. If they just transfer and pay for the move themselves, they get to keep their seniority.. how does that make any sense? OO closes your station and forces you to move, but you lose your seniority..
So is this the first time SkyWest has furloughed any employees in its 35 yr history?

The ramp in ORD is handled by United and Delta. The gangbangers work in DEN and LAX mostly.
Maybe if they'd have had a union they would have some protection against this. A union isn't going to keep a base open, but it will assure you don't lose more in the process.
