Each time, Comair submitted bids (as directed by Delta) to retain the flying.

Each time, Delta (supposedly) considered those bids.

Each time, Delta said "Allllllllmost, but not quite... You're too expensive"

Each time, Delta awarded RFPs to other regionals.

I know it's all f'd up, but that's how Delta does business. From 2004 until the end, Comair pilots voted in three concessionary contracts to stop the bleeding. Each time, Delta promised us (or the judge) that it would be enough to stop the bleeding. Each time, Delta would have a change of heart after the contract was signed and planes still left the property.

It didn't make sense and it wasn't logical. Most of us hung around till the end hoping common sense would kick in. Don't rely on logic trying to figure out DCI musical chairs when Delta is running the game.
