Comair Cuts

[IADBLRJ41]

The important question: do YOU have a future there?



Too bad you went to PHL, I'd have enjoyed flying with you before I bailed...

Thanks... Nope no future here.

No new gig yet but looking as always

Hope the midwest is treating you well

Here's a tasty tidbit I learned yesterday. Most of the block hours cut are going to be out of everyones fav base JFK! DL wants to cut RJ flights in and out of JFK before the Feds cut them. There will be a cut down to two pushes. There will be an A.M. bank and a P.M. bank, allowing DL mainline flights in and out of JFK in between both banks, keeping the number of RJ's in and out of JFK down to a minimum.

Thank goodness for that. JFK is a disaster and whoever decided to increase the RJ flights and funnel them through two gates should be fired for incompetence. We all knew how bad it was going to be before it even started.

Maybe in the long run, however in the February bid packet ALL the current cuts were in Cincinnati.

Difference between JAN and FEB in CVG: -1430 hours
Difference between JAN and FEB in JFK: +85 hours

Kennedy grows a bit but Cincinnati gets chopped at the knees!

This came up just this weeks, so Feb's schedule won't be affected. They're trying to figure out how many flight DL will let us cram into each bank. It will be gradual and not a "all at once" implimentation.

So how are they going to feed all of those international flights out of JFK? When I was flying there, a look at the evening connection list was all international DL connections.

Actually I think we recently hired that guy! :laugh:

The P.M. Bank will be the international connection feed. I'm guessing they'll get the DCI flights in and out before the International push or wait to depart after the international push has died down.
