Well, considering Epic is where all the bad news gets posted, I'm inclined to believe that this live encounter will either be no news or good news--unless DS is the next "new guy".
On a different subject, anyone want to start an over-under on the number of sick calls scheduling will get this Christmas??
On the main page, where it says "Search for Someone By Name" enter S.B.'s name in there and start reading. Look at the bottom of S.B.'s Summary right above S.B.'s Specialties.
I seriously doubt it's him, but does he think Comair will be around for him to be CEO anytime in the forseeable future?
This is public knowledge and you don't have to start an account to read it.

Somebody on the compass thread was speculating the CEO from Compass (who just named a successor today) would be taking the helm at Comair, but like someone else said, different leader but same Soap

I agree with the previous poster that said this meeting might be about something other than JS getting axed. The last time I was at a meeting in the Cafe was when Fred announced the Bankruptcy. I don't think they would have company wide meetings to tell us that JS is gone. Nor do I think they would have a company celebration to announce new Soap on a Rope. If they did hold a celebration meeting that DS was our new CEO I bet there would be pilots that literally walk up to him and hand them their badges.
My thoughts,
Comair being merged with Compass.
Compass and Mesaba being merged and Comair loses all 50 seat flying. Then closes the doors and the 70/90 aircraft go to new said "Cosaba."
I doubt a merge of the pilot groups would happen this soon.
I would venture to say a merging of the internal operations (Dispatch, Scheduling, etc) of each regional would be more likely. Integration of the pilot groups takes lots of time with negotiations. However, non-union groups like anyone in the SOCC could be reduced to a more appropriate level first to take advantage of the immediate associated cost savings.

If they merger the internal operations, ALPA can push for a single carrier petition. I dont know if they will but they should!!

ALPA right now is shivering in their boots thinking about the thought of merging Mesaba, Compass and Comair. Can you imagine the merger of the seniority list and the trouble that would cause.
How would you like to be an 8 year Comair FO and have to sit next to a two year Compass or Mesaba Captain.
I don't think it will ever happen, but I have been wrong before.
