Could this FA have been DS's lover? Note the quote:

When his tirade was through, he then took a some beers from the galley and pulled the emergency chute and slid off the Embraer 190 plane. According to police sources, he threw his luggage down first and said something to the effect of "there goes 28 years," before he took the plunge.

28 years? The same time that DS was at OH! Coincidence?

If something is happening tomorrow your MEC team was probably pulled off line today. Thats what happened at compass and mesaba the day before the sales. Has anyone looked up thier scheds???

Yup, 41 Captains are re-upgrading, and after those there are another hundred or so that need to go back to the left seat before anyone new can upgrade.

There are two ladies on the August upgrade list, Shauna and Suzanne. Anyone know if one has a background at ATP like this reporter says? If so, we know who's talking to the press about hiring and you can draw your own conclusions from there. Maybe they never took the upgrade before and need to get the ATPw since ten years ago Comair didn't require it to interview.

A look at the massive training/transfer schedule on Epic is interesting... some 600 pilots getting relocation packages and/or sim training. That can't be cheap.

Sounds like Delta wants to blow a couple million dollars before closing the doors at Comair in 4 months. Or maybe trailblazer guessed wrong?

Perhaps, one of those liveries went away in 2004 and the other around 2007.

But that many Comair planes lined up in one place?

It was probably taken last week in a desert somewhere.

Be able to look at other pilot's lines???? That's crazy talk! Comair doesn't trust us enough to allow us to do that!

Uh... they hired people without the written in 2008.

I am going to laugh if absolutely nothing is announced tomorrow.

Really? Wow. We had to have it in 06-07. But then again, they hired people with 230 hours in 08.
