I think most people are training this week. Most everyone getting recalled is current. So technically they don't need any training. They are giving us a five hour sim to get back in the swing of things.

Since Mesa filed Ch. 11, let's see if the Comairs Higher-Ups dream comes true with Delta dumping Freedom and Comair taking over their flying. Isn't that what they were waiting for quite some time? Kind of sad. IF this will actually happen, I still don't see Comair getting more flying or recalling.

Spoilers, I hope your wrong - however, the latest rumor was that if Mesa did file Comair wouldn't get anything. I wouldn't be surprised if Delta does an RFP and opens it up for bid or simply not replace that lift.

Regardless of what happens with Mesa, I don't think Delta will ever allow Comair to be as big as it was. Delta is most likely thinking many many years down the road from now and Comair is really not all that important to them anymore.

If Mesa going under just takes the heat off our 50-seat fleet, I'll take it....

If DL somehow does cancel Freedom's contract, it'll only be the reduction in 50 seaters they are looking for. So the good thing might be that Comair will not lose too many other hours. At the same time, get ready for more shifts in flying. (as if we're not use to that already)

Based on NG5? they're not going to recall anyone unless there's a dramatic increase in our flying. They don't want to spend the money to get us furloughs retrained. Comair just wants to be short staffed always.

Actually, the Freedom flying is CVG based, so if Delta shifts Comair flying to cover Freedom they will have to shift Comair to CVG. That means hundreds of displaced JFK commuters will have to start driving to work again.

Come to think of it, wasn't CVG the main Comair hub when Freedom joined the DCI party back in 2005?

Yep. Everyone else, get your stuff in at Eagle! NG5 says no more recalls huh? What does that tell you? With Delta PULLING OUT OF CVG (YES ITS' TRUE JUST ASK THE FORMER CUSTOMER SERVICE EMPLOYEES) has they say in Cincy "It's a wrap!"

Did NG5 come out and say that recently? That there will be no more recalls in the near future or was that awhile ago. Because the aviation industry is day by day.
