Just to remember it in full historical detail, DAL also created the regionals (as we know them today) and moved many jobs from the mainline to the regional level. I'm not saying that justifies abetting putting a brother on the street, but it is something to remember to keep everything in perspective.
It is sickening that any company would be reduced to this, and I sure hope the end isn't as near as everyone thinks. Any pilot group - especially those who have the experience, resolve, and respect that Comair pilots do - doesn't deserve to be treated with less than the utmost respect.
