This post might pee off a few people, but this is how I feel, and I don’t care what you think…

Like I said before, I am not surprised this was going to happen. Not sure if Mesa/Freedom will continue to operate the planes, if another DCI carrier will get them, or hell, even the mainline guys will fly them like some people say. I haven’t heard anything if J.O fought this or not or if this is the usual jerking around by Delta.

The other day, after getting jerked around by scheduling again and questioning flight controls logic about doing a certain task that delayed two flights and ended up displacing 8 crew members, I turned to my Captain and said “Why the hell is Delta is putting up with our crap?” I’d almost rather see those 14 CRJs go to SkyWest or PNCL, etc, because at least those guys run a fairly efficient operation with a scheduling system that works! We are canceling flights because Comair scheduling doesn’t know where their crewmembers are, or because they forgot to notify the captain for a flight (I’m not making this up). I guess we’ll just cancel the flight and ferry the airplane somewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if the recent events by Comair forced DL to re-think their decision. Right now, I don’t think we deserve those planes anyway, we can’t even run an operation with 13 CRJ900s. How the hell are we going to run an operation with seven more? I hate to see anyone get displaced or out of a job, but I think the only way we can turn around this operation is if scheduling, dispatch, etc. will run through Delta in ATL.
