Comair Future Uncertain ... Again

[coonass]

Man that really sucks for you guys if true. I hate to see aircraft leave one carrier and go to another. I wish you guys the best of luck and I hope if we get any of your aircraft I hope some of the pilots will come too. On another note I think those planes are going to be offered up for a 2 for 1 swap or 1 for1 swap for ya'll 700 and 900 for 200's.

Sad to hear all this but I jumped ship at Comair five years ago. The writing was on the wall back then. It's been a slow painful death. Good luck to everyone still there.

You need help. I would recommend to you to delete what you said. People/delta could take that as a threat.

 

[wrxpilot]

Wouldn't it be awesome if a building collapsed and killed everyone at Delta!!! God I would love that!!! I really and truly would love that!!! F'n Scumbag C***s!!!!

In light of recent events, you're either a complete idiot or need serious help.

oh well...i know some mainline guys that probably said the same about comair back in the day. but really, I do feel bad for anyone affected by this-just thought his comment crossed the line.

To all of my Comair friends, I just spoke with a nameless source that had confirmed what we had all thought and suspected. I wanted to give all of you as much of a heads-up as possible. Comair will be making the announcement on July 31st. Their last day of operations will be September 30th.

The U.S. Marshals were briefed to disarm the Comair FFDO's to reduce the risk of one of them from potentially going postal.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I felt that if I were still at Comair, I would want to know this information as soon as possible in order to plan accordingly.

I wish the best of luck to all of you.

If this is true, I wish you all the best of luck with future employment.

U.S. Marshall's? Why them, seems a bit out of the scope of their normal jurisdiction . ICE or one of the Law Enforcement Agencies that is under the jurisdiction of DHS. Something tells me that part is bogus with the rest of the post being factual.

Comair isn't the first airline to cease op's under the program and I don't recall hearing that those guys were disarmed.

He probably meant the FAMS, the FFDO program is under their jurisdiction.

Funny FFDO's are the least of our concern's. Another job seems to be the leading concern these days! Funny how the company that is currently chomping at the bit for our airplanes has lowered their minimums! You just hired SB one of our flunkies who ruined our training department!

Riddle me this why is Comair and other DCI carriers are covering the newest low bidder's flying on a regular basis? Heck we are covering flying for another DCI carrier as well! The new kid on the block is bad for the whole DCI system.

 

[JonnyKnoxville]

Federal Air Marshals....not U.S. Marshals....sorry.

another ignorant post, 777 "master of the obvious"

So sorry for the people affected by this rumor, if true. I'm sure Gen. Lee must be very happy that so many will lose their jobs.
IMHO most of the blame for this lies with the snobs over at DAL, and their equally snobbish, elitist, and so called professional pilot group.
Should any of the comair aircraft end up at Go-Jets, I think I may vomit all over my computer. I know that a number of CMR birds went to ASA, but look where they eventually ended up - at the aforementioned scumbag airline, Go-Jets, the one that really needs to go away. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later!
Maybe there will be a rescue package worked out for a sale, or merger, but who can buy, except maybe Skywest?
DAL certainly doesn't care as long as the financial bottom line suits them, and now they will tramp all over those who worked so hard to provide feed over several decades.
Hold your heads up high when you meet the next DAL pilot in the terminal as he passes you by looking at his shoes, because one of these days he will trip and fall flat on his face.

Best wishes to all, whatever happens!

Start barfing now, because not only are some Comair aircraft already at GoJets, they are being flown by some former Comair pilots for half the pay.

Of course they will. And I don't think it's anything personal against a regional group, it's just business. The bottom dollar. Sorry, but the regional industry was never meant to support a cost structure of a super senior pilot group. Newer regionals will pop up (like Compass and GoJets) that have far lower seniority and far lower costs to do the same thing other regionals are doing: flying RJs across the country.
