SkyWest to buy Comair

[Freebrd]

Dude, you should seriously consider dropping the "OYS" and come up with something more original!

well now she does still have jennyLeigh, aka GL :smash:

on the ASA side' at least' these are owned by DAL, used to be operated by CMR before ASA

True. I think the point is SkyWest is not going to "buy" Comair or it's planes if Delta keeps the lease on them.. Only to get under bid in 5 years when the CPA is up. If someone does buy Comair, im sure they will want the rights to the leases.. Gives them levrage come contract up time...

This sums it up completely...

The SkyWest Board isn't happy at all with the amount of money the ASA/XJT merger is costing and the time/resources involved in getting it done. I don't see Inc. purchasing another airline to merge, as the current one has their hands full. Based on that info, I would assume if there's any truth to the thread statement then it would be an assets only purchase.... (which then begs the question, where do you find the pilots?)

Do you sit in on board meeting?

As far as I know they are on schedule for what they estimated when it was announced.

Cost, is different, but I doubt they assumed their number would be spot on.

What cost them was our managment at ASA underestimating the need for people flying airplanes.

Thanks everyone. Oh just so it's clear now "SkyWest to buy Comair?". I only wanted to solicit though,t not A$#HO$#es. Thanks for the initial input though, rectal openings. I'm glad this thread turned into a good discussion. I am on the way out of OH, and I just wanted to find out if anyone knew of any reson for me to stay.Ffrom everything I have found, I can't find a reason to stay. I am just quiting flying....I'm done with all this BS. I hope that others can find the good luck that I have found. I will stil fly every once and a while, but I am done with this regional/airline B/S. 10 years in the right seat.......I'm done....Thank you all for your EDUCATED input....to all the rest, you deserve what happens to you....karma is a female dog...Fly Safe.....Lifer FO

I was a FO at the regionals for 10 years. I am now at JetBlue and I am loving every minute of it. Don't completly give up man.

The new American Eagle parent EGL will purchase comair, with a long term Delta feeder contract in 12-18 months, depending on how long it takes comair to agree to contracts with pilots and flight attendants. "Mark"

 

[dodgerk]

I am based in SLC and have heard nothing about Comair. Just a rumor I imagine.

 

[DX Rick]

This is all a lie, a big fat lie.
Everyone knows that SWA is going to buy Comair and then give OH all the 717's to fly for SWA pay.
Down side of this whole deal is we will still have to wear our hats.

 

[comrcap]

Sorry. No hats. But that's me. Actually, my hat is laying next to my old contract. When I get my contract back, they'll get the hat back.

 

[Dirt Doctor]

Have not worn a hat since I downgraded. Don't plan on wearing one for the remainder of my time at Comair until I upgrade again, which will be never.

I had a chance to go through MSP lately. Its pretty easy to see who's who. The DAL mainline guys all wear hats and look like professional airline pilots. All the commuters are slinking around the airport...no hats...looking like the JV.

 

[xjhawk]

you are a tool-yeah right hats make professionalism-oh and so does a polyester suit (uniform) and a magnum PI stash. I have worn my hat and I have not-on the days I wore it I did not feel anymore professional than the other days. That being said, when I am at a company that says I have to wear it, I will wear it. I suppose you also think leather jackets are unprofessional? Why I must ask do I even read your posts? you are everywhere-do you also peek in your neighbors windows to see what they are doing too? And then tell them what they think of their lives?

I had a chance to go through most airports in this country lately. Its pretty easy to see who's who. The Southwest / FedEx / UPS pilots are walking around with their big fat wallets and are treated like professional airline pilots. All the Delta Pilots are slinking around proudly wearing their hats while management outsources more of their jobs. But hey, at least they have more pilots to look down on.
