He comes to the Delta thread with NO ill will towards Delta pilots because he knows what happened to Comair was not Delta pilots fault.

When I was at Continental Express, CAL did some mean things to us. The very day that they were contractually able to remove 25% of our fleet(69 airplanes) and hand it to a different regional they did. They awarded the flying to the lowest bidder, Chautaqua. Their pilots made significantly less money then us. I didn't take that out on CAL pilots, becuase they didn't make those decisions. Crappy things happen in this industry, & those things 99% of the time are done by management. If you can't handle that, then you should probably leave the industry.

What has happened to Pinnacle sucks. The same can be said for Eastern, Pan Am, Braniff, SkyBus, Aloha, ATA, & TWA to name a few. Were you sympathetic to NWA furloughs as Pinnacle/Mesaba/Compass grew at their expense? How about Delta furloughs as ASA/Skywest/Comair/Freedom grew at their expense?

I'm sorry for what is happening, & I hope everyone comes out good. But once again, I didn't cause it so take your ax elsewhere to grind.
