Comair seeks to void flight attendant contract in bankruptcy court - 02/23/06

Comair is the latest airline seeking to void a contract through bankruptcy court. The flight attendants are the only workers who have not agreed to concessions. Delta is the parent company for the airline. As part of a plan to stay competitive, Comair says it needs to cut $8.9 million from the flight attendants, who are represented by the Teamsters. The company is seeking $70 million dollars in cuts overall. The union asserts that the concessions would mean an average pay cut of $10,500 per worker.
