Don't feel bad about the 300 furloughed Comair pilots, since Delta is apparently sending "spare" Comair planes to ASA, Mesaba, and SkyWest too.

Just a question. Just give an answer.
Here is the point to this post -
The poster asks if Pinnacle is extending LOAs because planes will need to be painted, in other words will Pinnacle pilots be flying less.
To which I reply that Comair planes are going to Pinnacle to make sure Pinnacle keeps flying. Then I add in sarcastic fashion that Comair planes are going to three other DCI regionals and, in a related story, 300 Comair pilots are on the street. To which someone accuses me of "my regional is better" when in fact it is "my regional blows and Delta will make yours blow too."
That's the point to the post.
