And what is this statement based on, and who is it to? You say "Stay away from Comair", but they are not hiring, nor will they be hiring any time soon (Still 300 furloughed). So, who is to stay away from them? I am not certain, nor is anyone else, that Comair will be around in a year, but nobody except RA would know that. My personal thought is that Mesaba and Comair will, at some time in the future, be merged into one wholly owned. Delta will furlough pilots, and they will flow down to Compass and all current Compass pilots will be furloughed (because all the flow down pilots will take their place). This flow down will help Delta save money, and at the same time, allow them to fly the same routes with lower paid crews. It's all an evil Big D plan. And then, at the end of 2012, God shall hurtle a huge asteroid at Atlanta, hitting Delta's main operations center and ending life on Earth (except for cockroaches, which are God's chosen ones, like Noah once was).
