Richie - I don't work for Comair, so back off. Closing any base sucks... yes... been there done that with Mesaba. But almost HALF of Comairs flying has been shifted to JFK. HALF! Can you imagine what kind of PITA commuting from CVG to JFK is going to become? There are only 5 flights a day between the hubs. At least there are at least 12 between MSP-DTW. The ANC base closure is equally important of a closure as the major shift in Comair operations. The plight of a mainliner isn't somehow more urgent or important than a DCI guy. The sense of entitlement is disgusting, but not new to us.

Just curious... how much of the ANC base actually live there?

It only appears that Comair has major problems with the changes, the biggest being a shift to a WORSE boarding priority. Do you expect them to be happy? Of course not. I don't think anyone is demanding anything! I think some people are just ****ed off their travel privies just a got a little worse. My whole point is that there could have been a more simple, streamlined and perhaps fair way to sort out the boarding priorities.
