"Freedom currently operates seven CRJ-900 regional jets for Delta Connection, with a further seven aircraft scheduled to enter service by May 2009. "



TO: Comair Team
FROM: President John Selvaggio
RE: Delta Connection Opportunity Modifies Plan
Our flight schedule for the remainder of the year continues to shift dramatically. Most recently,
Delta Connection requested that we operate additional CRJ900 aircraft beginning in October. In
order to be successful, we must make the following adjustments:
- Fleet: Our maintenance team will begin receiving additional CRJ900s in September. We
will start flying up to three of these aircraft in October, and operate a total of seven by the end of November. The addition of the CRJ900s may not incrementally change our longterm
fleet outlook, and we still anticipate reducing our complement of 50-seat aircraft by
the end of year. Eight CRJ100/200 aircraft will be returned to lessors when their leases
expire, and the remaining 50-seat planes will be utilized less.
 
I guess they will call this growth for Comair. Isn't that what you call it when you lose 8 planes and now you get 7 in return.

This makes perfect sense. (serious) At least Comair will get some flying to mitigate the flying they are losing. It may not be growth, but at least it is something.
 
FLYUPDER wondered the source ...

I don't know, maybe ...

This will not offset all the loss we will incur, apparently there will still be furloughs and downgrades, just not as many...depends on how much they utilize the planes
 
This may be the first, Usually Mesa is flying around in planes with other company's tail numbers. Your company finally hit bottom and DL sent you packing.
