Thinking that Comair stands to gain anything from this merger is a waste of time. Our company president's communique this morning came from an email for crying out loud. Not from a press conference with the Cincinnati newspapers or media or with corporate communications, but an email. Comair is but a carbunkle on this camel's arse of an airline and has been since day one, except for the day Delta drained every last red cent from Comair's cash-flush bank accounts.

We are small potatoes in this game and if anyone thinks the efforts of the RJDC meant anything with regards to ALPA National/DALPA including us in high-powered decisions then they're crazy. Nobody invited us to the dinner table. At least Compass is represented by the NWA MEC. Comair will a) stay status quo, b) shrink more (I guess that's still status quo or c) be whittled down to ground handling only. I feel bad for anyone "invested" in the Cinci-tucky area with families and property.
