Hold the phone...
Do you have ANY idea who was flying ALL of Com Air's (Delta's) routes, long BEFORE COM AIR even existed??
Delta was flying them, with MAINLINE DC-9's and 737-200's and 727's!
Com Air and ASA actually grew, as Delta shrank, and put more and more MAINLINE pilots on furlough, for 3 years starting in 1993 and for 5 years starting in November of 2001.
The Delta Pilots have been paying for YOUR JOBS, by losing OUR JOBS, for many years. Some of our children are flying there today. We don't want to Kill ComAir, we want OUR FLYING returned TO US! I would LOVE for all Com Air pilots (except the RJDC clowns) to be hired at Delta, making mainline wages with mainline benefits.
Do you realize many of the Delta Pilots you blame for your sitution, came from Com Air? Do you really believe we don't give 2 cents? You have to start somewhere and build the hours and gain the experience needed to get a job at a mainline carrier. Many of us Delta pilots wanted you to be added to our list years ago, but JC Lawson wanted Date of Hire on our list, and the RJDC lawsuit didn't help.
If you want to be pizzed off at someone, start with JC and the RJDC. But Delta Management decided to close down Com Air, not the Delta Pilots. We just want OUR flying back, at MAINLINE, where it always belonged, before our MANAGEMENT decided to OUSOURCE IT to the lowest bidder.
