The rest is for the Comair work but won't be until after the 1st of the year. I guess their contract states that if anything is sold the pilots go with the equipment, however (as I've been told) that contract ends at the end of this year.

Skywest is running 4 classes now, 2 for pool hires and 2 for UAL furloughs. So this guy thinks that they'll be hiring 1600 in Jan '11 because they're taking all of Comair's assets. Who writes this stuff?
If that happens, I guess I'll apply at SkyWest so I can start all over again, fly the same airplane I flew here, the same routes all again at 1st year pay. God this industry is so f'd up. Unfortunately there are plenty of guys out there that have wet dreams about this happening.
