Just for the record
I feel bad for the employees of Comair, but Comair's demise is another glaring example of why some regionals should operate his or her own operation and stop depending on major legacy airlines for feed. If a regional is unable then line up and become fodder for whatever whims your favorite legacy has in store. Sure its about money, but its more about your life!
