cmrflyer said:I agree with with the general, the sooner comair gets ipo'd the better. Nobody at comair wanted the buy out, Delta got heavy handed and said sell or you loose your contract to fly for us.
It would be nice to be our own airline again and not get dragged down by stupid managment decisions.
The sooner the better.
Huh? You may not like the "real world" Cmrflyer. You would likely have to take a large pay cut just to be able to compete with the likes of Mesa and others that will "do it cheaper." Your new owner would stress this to you, saying "to be competitive and be able to get new contracts, we need to cut costs EVERYWHERE." Your industry leading rates (like our old industry leading rates) would go bye bye. Sure, I want us to sell or IPO you guys---but not because I don't love you guys, but rather for the needed cash or debt relief. It will never be like the "old days" at Comair---there will always be outward pressure from the likes of Mesa or others that will offer lower fee for departure services, and you will have to compete with them. We have learned that lesson too----the LCCs cost less, and now we make less. It's a new world.
Bye Bye--General Lee
