Back in mid-2010, when this "downsizing" was announced, it was estimated that the junior captain would be a 1999 hire. What are the latest thoughts on this?

Junior captain, on reserve, after 13 years?? WOW, sounds like USAirways with lower pay!
Why not leave in 2006 when the BK and paycuts ensued? You have to pick your battles. Either be willing to leave CVG, or commute to a new job, or stay put at Comair and hope it sticks out til retirement. 2006 was a good time to get hired, and everyone was hiring except American Airlines.
