Was just over on jetcareers.com and saw this article, also of interest is that Delta is now talking to United and Northwest for a possible merger. Interesting, to say the least


Friday January 11, 2008 Comair, a regional subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, will eliminate up to 14 50-seat aircraft from its fleet of 131 regional jets.
Delta previously announced it will cut its domestic flights by up to 5%, a reduction that is the equivalent of 10 mainline aircraft and 35 RJs. Delta Connection carriers will have up to 15% fewer scheduled block hr. as the company reduces flying and fuel consumption. At the same time, DL intends to increase international capacity by 15%.
Some of the Comair reductions will be achieved through decreased utilization while others will result in the return of aircraft to lessors, President John Selvaggio said in a memo sent to employees Wednesday. Eight of the eliminated aircraft are on leases that expire soon while the remaining six will be removed from service and could be sold.
"With fewer block hours, Comair must align our staffing across the company to support what will become a smaller operation," Selvaggio said, adding that he expected "front-line reductions" to be met through attrition. "Most immediately we expect to achieve savings by revising existing programs as well as by implementing new technology initiatives that will help us streamline our work."
Comair currently has 6,300 employees and operates 697 flights to 88 cities in the US and Canada. Delta has expressed an interest in selling the subsidiary for some time
