All comair should have first crack at Delta interviews at the very least. Did they really insert an entire paragraph of fluff about skyteam, hubs, and mainline at the end of that letter to employees?!
What a sad state of affairs the regional game has become. I hope this event helps those of you at mainline carriers further understand that better contracts for pilots can only occur at the mainline level. Comair did their best to improve the regional industry, and they did. Unfortunately the customer that pays Comair has no loyalty to that brand, and now Delta will be increasingly served by the likes of Gojet. This is why us subcontracted pilots care about your scope even though we do not work with you. Comair pilots will always have a strong reputation in my book, never met one who wasnt a consummate professional.
