SkyWest to buy Comair

[On Your Six]

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.

Actually, RJs are being parked more often, mainly 50 seaters and even some Saab props. The people who are really seeing their jobs outsourced are the DCI pilots. Ask the Skywest and ASA guys what it feels like losing 12 CR7s, that were once Comair's, to Gojet! Ouch.

And the FedEx and UPS guys, if you see them during the daylight hours, look really tired with those big wallets, while the Southwest guys look a bit worried about their uncertain outcome with the Airtran pilots. They are also running down the concourse for food before the 20 minute turn is up and they have to push for leg 2 of 5 for the day.


Godspeed!

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.

So since they were their hats, they're professionals? Interesting. So since they require you to pay to apply via Airline Apps, just like the regionals do, what's that say about them?

GL,

Congratulations on tightening up scope at Delta. Just keep transferring RJ's from one carrier to the next and watch those RJ"s vanish (to the even cheaper carrier). No wonder your scope is this bad if that is how a Delta pilot handles simple math. Since you know everything, you can answer this question for me: Who has looser scope in the industry than Delta? Need to think about that one for a while. Not only did you screw yourselves and the B-scale pilots at the 20 regionals that feed Delta, but you also screwed every legacy carrier out there by lowering the bar until it hit the ground. Congratulations!

Also, I would not worry too much about Southwest, as soon as they figure out their integration, you can kiss your domination of ATL goodbye. Don't worry about it though because soon you guys will only have the debt-level of Greece. That is something to be very proud of.

Well, you know, it's all a matter of priorities.

THIS! But then you're referring to the putz duo known as JennyLeigh/OYS-Yo-Yo! Yeah RJs "disappearing" from one DCI to another you dummy!

There is no charge to submit a single application; multiple apps on file costs money.
