Wasn't Comair included in part of the value of Delta as far as getting USAir to back off the takeover? (or well however it went). It would be kinda a di*k move for Delta to value Comair so much one minute then turn around and take away more flying and let them fall apart on their own the next....

Though I spose that's just the way things go in this biz. And then again I might just not have a damn clue what I'm talking about haha. Good luck to the Comair pilots.
