In this business it's every pilot group for themselves and within each pilot group, its every pilot for himself. Unity within the profession as a whole is a mythical concept only and ALPA is simply a DIR (Dues Income Receiver) trying to hang on to every income dime it can.

ALPA stood by while other carriers like TWA and Midwest were devoured in the depths below them and left for dead, so you can forget ALPA "putting up" anything for (i.e., saving) any carrier with the possible exceptions of UAL or DAL because the loss of one of those would basically bankrupt them, thus devestating the upper elite's wealthy lifestyles. If the forces that be decide Comair is toast, plan your next career move, because you are basically all alone. Geez..........reading a lot of these posts, one can see Comair's blood is already attracting sharks hungry for a bite at the carcass.

RIP Comair and welcome to the abyss. As time marches on, more of the sharks will devour their like and dispatch them to join the previous carcasses, while the great whites of herndon circle above clear of the melee and fatter then ever from the scraps that rise from what they could or would not stop.

Ah, to be a modern day airline pilot....................
