Comair Rumor

[Texx]

the same pilots at Comair fly both the 700 and 900 and are used to saying 700/900 together.

And so CMR pilots are the only ones that fly the 700/900 together?

I think not.

What?

So I guess every carrier with 700/900 flies them with the same pilot group. Makes sense, just thought we might be different since we separate these pilots from the CRJ-200 pilots unlike some other carriers.

UAL mainline has scope on 900's...so there won't be any of those involved.

Only if Comair tried to fly them for UAL, unless they could get scope relief on them.

Now, on the other hand, AWAC could fly them, seeing as we have that scope relief in hand already.

Peace.

As long as Comair is owned by Delta I don't see them flying for anyone but Delta.

What do the rumors say about an ORD base?

PCL is owned by NWA. They're flying for another carrier. Colgan is owned by Pinnacle, they're flying CAL. They'll look for revenue wherever they can.

PCL is not owned my NWA...They are a separate publicly traded company. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=pncl

I didnt think NWA still owned Pinnacle.

I thought AWACs scope relief was limited to some very specific (by tail number) Bae 146's. I don' think that relief exends to crj-900's.

trust me, after being at Comair for 5 long years I can say one thing with a completely straight face,......There is nothing positive in the works at Comair. All these rumors have been used up between 2001 and 2006 and not one of them produced anything. Except of course all the negative rumors that came true.

Glad to have left them in '06 and haven't ever regreted the decision since!

 

[Speedtape]

There is a school of thought by some that it would be impossible to sell Comair with the lawsuits and potential liability that exists due to the unfortunate accident. If there is merit to this argument, it seems plausible that Comair will not grow, but shrink. Apparently, there could be settlements that could far exceed the insurance limits.

As long as any regional lift picked up by Comair for another mainline partner doesn't conflict or compete with Delta's route structure, we have Delta's okay. If we were to pick up UA flying, we could fly almost any route from DEN, ORD, or IAD as long as it's not a DL hub, or focus city.
