I believe a large part of this will be the reduction of CVG. It was posted a few weeks ago that we are down to something like 40 mainline flights there from 300 a few years ago. The reduction in mainline flying will most likely cause a corresponding reduction for the regional feed as you are no longer "feeding" much of anything. Whether it will be Comair remains to be seen. They would be easiest as DAL owns them and there is no contract to go to court over. It will most likely be determined by what carriers have the lowest performance. Either way I suspect the bulk of this will be RJ driven.
I served furlough from '01-06 and don't wish it on anyone but I don't want or expect to go through that again.
