The future of Comair? Shut down???

Vote with your feet, come to Compass.

The only two things that move sideways are crabs and pimps

Listen guys, I hate to see this happen to ComAir. However, most of those 50 seaters they have are going to end up in China... just as fast as DAL can sell them over there.

What is the date of hire of the most junior Comair captain currently online? is a DOH of 09/02 close?

I doubt Delta wants to harm a part of their Company, but the conflicting contracts may give them no choice.

Um, Delta management doesn't give a crap about anyone but themselves.

If there is a DAL merger with someone, I dont see Comair just shutting down. They could shrink like alot of the DAL connection carriers and if CVG base was eliminated I could see Comair just shift the base to JFK and maybe open a BOS base. But for Comair to be just shutdown 100%, I cant see that really happening

I hope not, I have two good friends over there and it would be terrible for their families. However, I think the entire regional industry is in for a world of hurt with these fuel prices going no where but up. I am sure GL and his other Delta cronnies are just loving it. But don't worry, the blade always swings back.

11/02

And believe it or not, against all odds, another 15 CA vacancy was just released! If the more senior guys don't jump on this ship, I know 15 guys with 11/02 to early 03 who will snap this up! Git it while the gittin's good!!

I think CVG is gone with United or Northwest. Either way ORD and DTW are the trumps. Good news for everyone in the tristate area wishing for their low-cost alternative. Southwest, JetBlue or whoever will enjoy a very uncongested airport.

Like PIT when USAir moved out? Did Southwest add a lot of flights there? How about Jetblue? CVG has no O&D traffic, and is only used as a connections hub. Do you think a lot of people ask "hey honey, do you want to spend the weekend in Cincinatti? We could get NASTY..?" Doubtful anyone would go in there and add a large hub even close to the number of current departures. Sad, but true. At least they built that new runway, and that new DHL sorting facility......

Loving it? I don't think so. It has been a huge fall since the days when Comair thought it was invincible, though. Lawson really thought he was large and incharge when asking for more 70 seaters when our furloughed pilots needed help. Regardless, it will be interesting to see what happens.

Good lick guys, I hope you all get your stuff off soon... or do whatever you want.

General has a point......

I hate to see bad things happen up at Comair as well. I do believe that somewhere in this garbage, this arrogant windbag has a poiint........ Why the hell did Comair refuse to let furloughed DAL pilots work there? What was the harm in that idea? I think Comair's union did a huge disservice to themselves and their pilots by refusing to hire these guys in thier time of need. We had tons of them working at ASA, and were very happy to help.

For what it's worth: My interview group, 4 of 8 Comair: 0 hired. My class last fall: 1/3 ASA.

Spinning off the airline in a sale or IPO is a real possibility.

Who'll be the buyer? AMR is officially trying to sell Eagle and nobody's taking.

Why would you bring this up? It's been beaten to death, resurrected, and beaten again for the past six years.

Facts:
Comair pilots don't decide who gets hired at Comair.

J.C. Lawson is no longer MEC chairman at Comair.

The horse is dead.
