These are from April/May this year, before Comair recalls were announced:

This must be why we're bringing back furloughs.

I do believe that the pilots will move over to compass so their job will just transfer...
But Comair will not be around by the end of this year...
ASA is picking up 100 aircraft...A majority of these A/C are coming from Comair...The CRJ50 will be gone in about 3 years.
Still waiting for my Compass seniority number. The three "facts" at the end are so grossly in conflict with each other I don't know where to start.

Now your source is at ASA?
So are these 100 new 700/900s the same as Comair's CRJ50s, or are they XJet's EMB145-700/900s? How does ASA get around Delta's scope limits?

So, how's Afterburner/Trailblazer doing so far? I guess when we look at September's bid packs we'll see ASA guys flying Freedom's DTW stuff, and Comair guys will be on the Compass list. And what will become of Comair's 28 70/90s? All 100 of them will be at ASA.
Rumor Fail.
