I think the next few weeks will be very telling for Comair's future (note..not ComAir..would you guys please stop that ).

Freedom does around 50 departures a day out of DTW, and of course however much out of CVG.

If Delta turns around and gives all the DTW departures to Mesaba and Compass, and Comair gets NOTHING. Then I think the writing will be as clear as ever on the wall. But I honestly don't see this happening.

In regard to the CVG stuff, and the rest of Freedom's routes. This is great for DL, as they get to drop 50 seaters. But those routes aren't going anywhere, I really don't think you're going to see much more capacity cut. Maybe a few routes here and there, but those destinations are served for a reason, Delta won't just drop them. Comair has the airplanes to pick up the slack operationally.(how much are they running now...like 4 hours a day?)

My two cents in this whole mess, but I'm really itching to get back to Comair, and to 2nd year pay..than start over at some other airline at 1st year.

I've been trying to get to other airlines for almost 2 years now..with no luck (hired by 3 in that span..started with none of them for their varied operational reasons).

So I'm thinking that happened for a reason, as it stands i'm a 9/07 hire and 145 from recall. I wouldn't be surprised in all honesty if there are a bunch o' recalls because of these recent events.

Let's hope..we've been kicked long enough!
