We also are dealing with this while AA adds 125 new rjs and has options for turbo props on top of that. This is during a time that hiring is not all that simple either for regionals, and is only going to get worst. On top of that the company is saying they will spin off Eagle so it can bid on other airlines flying. I am not 100% sure this pilot group is doomed, and that many possible outcomes are ahead. One realistic one is we go into history books, but its not the only one. The longer it all takes the better for us. Just being objective, not saying it is the case, just want to keep the conversation and peoples minds open. Saying oh look Comair is an ignorant stance. Each situation is unique in its own way, and the out comes for each have been different.
