Bingo. Maybe he is yelling. Maybe Delta is "whipsawing" the regionals themselves against one another just like the pilot groups. And here is a crazy idea - maybe JS and DS have no real control over what happens to this airline - clearly they don't control the number of aircraft, or the routes, or the amount of money Comair can charge for a ticket, so what exactly is left they control? Those that complain about the "poor management", I ask, what exactly are they still allowed to manage? Delta calls all the shots and manipulates everyone, and as a wholly owned, Comair can't complain or sue like Pinnacle or Mesa - they just have to take it. And then the union does all it can to stir the pot, which only makes Delta less likely to want to deal with Comair anyway.
