Sad day for those at COMAIR. It should also be a wake up call to everyone in the regional part of this business. I have a couple of friends there.....they have been in denial for awhile about what was happening around them. I will be there to help and support them.

On the other hand, much is made on this board about mainline taking back flying... reducing regional feed....etc..... if anyone thought all that could happen and something like this would not be the effect of that ... thats pretty difficult to comprehend. If we as a profession wish for regional companies as they now exist to no longer fly for mainline, then more of this HAS to happen going forward.
