"Starting to think..." What took you so long? Anyone should see that being owned by Delta is the worst thing that ever happened to Comair, and still is the worst thing, for the airline and it's people. The best we could ever hope for is to be sold! If we were not owned by Delta, this airline could actually have a chance to grow, maybe fly for some other airlines, and not always be on edge wondering, "What is Big D gonna do next?"
Delta wants a good product (from Comair), but they do nothing to help Comair be that product. If you owned a company, wouldn't you do everything possible to make that company a success? Not Delta, they don't invest anything into Comair, they don't try to make Comair a better product (ie; newer planes, better scheduling, better management...), and they continue to just use the lower cost contract regionals (some of which provide a very inferior product when compared to OH).
I bet, even though they made a KY Bourbon keg of money on the sale of Comair, the former owners of this once great airline can't believe the way this airline has become a "has been".
That is all....time for beer!
