The company and the F/As are still in negotiations. Pay cuts for the pilots and the F/As don't happen untill the F/As sign off on pay cuts worth $8.9 million. If they agree on $6.5 million (my arbitrary figure), then the company is expected to return to the pilot and mechanic groups for additional relief to make up the shortfall.

Any sale to Republic is unconfirmed right now. There's lots of speculation. A sale by Delta would be welcome news. There are some who never wanted to be purchased by Delta to begin with, including me. Being rid of Delta won't solve all Comair's problems overnight, but would be a great first step. Such a sale, however, would make Comair a more active participant in the race to the bottom...not necessarily a good thing.

Fly safe!
