Pressing issues on this company is a repeating cliche term that has been used during the past four years. The pilot group, mechanics, GO, nor the union can control what has happened or is happening. Obviously CEO's cannot change the course rather they control the course that Delta has already laid out for Comair to follow.
Every CEO has had a project to implement from restructuring, BK , LOA's , and the most recent downsizing. All has resulted in their success, now Comair is now down to a shell of what it was and I feel Mr. "Whats his name" is the final hammer. I believe there are two scenarios that can play out, and Delta has made it clear to "whats his name" what they want. My guess is shut the door turn off the lights, or a merge with either of the NWA regional. In any case, the strategy was laid out with FB, and has been implemented in steps with each new CEO, this being the final one.
No matter what the union does, or how hard we as pilot group or company protest, the fate is already known to Delta and it is a matter of 6 to 9 months before we find out. Personally, I hope I am wrong, but based on historical data and graph, we will be done by end of 09, REGARDLESS of what happens at MESA. Fact of the matter and reality is there are way too many regionals out there and we are expendable. Comair has been processed, put on the fryer waiting to be cooked.
