SKYW + Comair (or ASA) union or non-union

[~~~^~~~]

Delta guys shouldn't complain about fuel prices though, don't most of you vote Republican? Well, you got what you wanted.

True, true

unreal!

And this has to do with what?

Surplus, this is not the time to throw a tempertantrum!

[QUOTE(2) ASA's airplanes are leased. Assuming leases on used airplanes would not be a screaming deal.[/QUOTE]

Not true, not all DAL CRJs are leased. DAL owns all 58 CRJ700s plus 106 CRJ 100/200s.

Temper tantrum?

How and why would they fragment?

How? Just ask the ATA guys how its been done to them.

As for the why:

1. No need to take crews with a smaller fragmentation.

2. Less costly.

3. Increases the portfolio effect

4. You can better tailor the sale to the acquiring airlines plans.

5. Avoid the unionization problems associated with bringing onboard large numbers of union pilots to a non union shop.

6. You get to hire newhire pilots on probationary new hire pay versus honor the longevity of senior ASA/CMR pilots.

you get the picture.

I knew FDJ2 would come to the rescue against the evil FINS. Mike Pinho? My a$$!
