Actually, if you read the first paragraph again he's saying that I knew all this crap was going to happen when I took the job. Probably before the interview, he says.
So I raised my BS flag, that's all.

I honestly fail to see why the burden of your bad decision making should be placed on someone else's shoulders.
As far as Comair breaking promises - in 2005 Delta/Comair came to ALPA with an offer that promised us 35 of the new DCI aircraft in exchange for pay cuts. The pilot group voted yes and took the pay cuts but our fleet was reduced anyway. Then in 2006 Delta/Comair 1113'd the pilot group and convinced the judge that pay cuts would allow Comair to grow again. The judge sided with Delta/Comair, we took another concessionary contract, and Delta reduced our fleet even further.
So I consider that broken promises.
