The 700's will be used on high load CRJ 200 routes, and the CRJ 200's will be used on the other routes. Also, Comair will be adding 50 new cities, mostly in the Caribbean, Florida, and Mexico. Due to the increase in southern flying, Comair has decided to re-re-open it's MCO base, along with an all new base somewhere in the US Virgin Islands. Delta will cease to have a hub in CVG, instead it will place a new hub at KDAL to directly compete with SWA at that airport. Announcements are forthcoming as to who the new President of Comair will be, once the one year term of the current President is over.
Directly attributed to this news of increased flying and aircraft aquisition, Comair will be recalling all of it's furloughed pilots and flight attendants, as well as hiring 6000 new pilots and flight attendants throughout the remainder of 2009 and into 2010.
