The pilots and flight attendants have once again told the airline that while they are willing to make concessions, terms of those concessions must be "fair and consensual." In a joint statement Connie Slayback, president of the flight attendants union, said "We all want to help our airline emerge from bankruptcy and return to profitability but we have to be able to reach a deal that both the flight attendants and management can agree to." The unions have been under pressure in recent weeks to accept the concessions from the company in order to make bidding on the bankrupt airline more attractive. Comair has said that if it can’t win the bidding process the airline will most likely see large cuts.
