RUMOR:
"Mesaba FA's are supposedly being trained on differences for the CRJ-700"
"Mesaba will be operating CRJ-700's which are currently being flown by ASA & Comair."
"CVG will be closed as a base and Comair will see major reductions in flying and will then be liquidated"
I have supplied all information that I have heard, my source is not very reliable,but I thought it deserved being placed on the board for discussion at least.
wow flight attendants and facebook, sounds like a winner!
i think cvg closing has been coming for a while. and as far as comair our mec has told us they are losing several thousand hours this fall. I dont know how they know but our alpa reps told us that on our message board. Our company actually said in one of our updates that they are announcing more furloughs. funny how i haven't heard that stuff on here, but our management and mec seem to know so much. either that or if they scare us enough will will vote in whatever they throw at us. but thats another converstation.
any way i doubt mesaba will be getting any planes from comair or anyone else for that matter. delta owns mesaba and has made it clear the path they will be taking in the immediate future.
When times are tough delta will beat down their owned airlines because they can. They cant beat the contract carriers to much due to contracts. When times are good however they build up their airlines. They dont build up contract guys.
