Only the best of wishes for those at ALG. I flew with some great crews during my time there.

It could mean absolutly nothing. Comair has asked for COLA's (company offered leaves of absence) in the past and they are asking again for september. Comair is behind on aircraft deliveries and overstaffed. That is why they ask for colas and everytime pilots jump on the opportunity. Nothing has ever come out of it.

Yes, but Comair doesn't have quite the incompetence at the higher levels as we do at Airways. ALG and PDT have the best ontime and completion factors as anyone in the entire industry, and still, all out flying is outsourced to the lowest common denominator. Hang in there ALG, we at PDT are right with you.
