Johnso,
I see two issues with Comair shutting down.
1st, if all the above proves to be true AND Delta starts hiring Then I would say the TA as painful as it is right now on Comair is at least going to do some good in the long run.
2nd is this whole debacle of 1st year pay. There are over 300 pilots with more than 20 years experience as an airline pilot who won't be able to go to another regional without starting over at year one.
Not that you and I will solve this problem, but can you think of any other industry that ties you to your company as bad as the airlines?
