Delta to Shut Down Comair

Delta Air Lines Inc.
DAL -5.29% plans to close its Cincinnati-based Comair Inc. feeder airline this fall, reflecting the high costs and declining ridership of the small, fuel-thirsty jets used by it and other regional carriers.
High fuel prices have upended the small regional jets that blossomed in the U.S. during the early 1990s, transforming small-city airports and becoming a hit with passengers used to flying turboprops. Hundreds of regional jets are parked in the desert as airlines moved to larger, more efficient planes.
Oops.
I don’t know, but you could be a former regional employee from those final years at Comair. If you did work there, we may have been acquainted, and you know this headline was a little misleading. Fuel is a cost and it was expensive, for a time. As my old friend Paul Harvey would say....”after this commercial break, stay tuned for the rest of the story.”
