With this occurring and the possible impending doom of Pinnacle, the market will be flooded with qualified pilots. Looks like the pilot shortage will be less severe. It will be harder for a lot of us to get hired at the majors. A sad day.
I don't think comair will be the end of it. When the AMR/ US merger occurs, i think those of us at PSA, Piedmont, and Eagle will all be up poop creek as well. This is why it is very important for us to work on flowthrough agreements. Also shows that taking your chance of being a lifer at a regional doesn't pay off.
