Grassy knell
I think people make the mistake of assuming that since Comair is a subsidiary of Delta, that it actually is Delta. It's not. It's Comair, a separate company that is owned by Delta. Delta is in BK, and so technically Comair is too, but people forget that Comair by itself is really pretty profitable. Someone made a comment that Delta might close the doors of Comair. Given Comair's profitability, I think the possibility of that is extremely remote. And we see that in no part of the restructuring is Delta required to sell Comair, so I think that's pretty unlikely too.
As far as coming from Comair and trying get on with Delta, I think that by the time it becomes relevant for guys at my stage (and earlier), most of the people carrying the grudges (likely a vocal minority) will be retired. (And the only time it would be relevant for me is if my SWA, AirTran, JetBlue, NetJets and Continental, etc. etc. interviews all didn't work out. Some guys want to work for their "dream" carrier. I'm just looking to work for a relatively good company and not get furloughed.)
And it's "knell," not "knoll."
