You could just as easily make the argument that Delta should not hire Republic pilots since that lowers Republic's labor costs and helps them to become the next Jetblue. It must have been a big slap in the face when Republic used Delta's money to save USAirways from liquidation, don't you think?

Or you could post the argument that hiring Comair pilots would lower labor costs and Comair could make more $$$ for Delta. Hiring SkyWest, Eagle, or Horizon pilots does nothing to improve Delta's bottom line.

Or you could offer that since the last 4 Comair presidents came from Delta or went to Delta, maybe Delta really loves Comair after all. That would be quite a stretch, but what the heck?

In any case, thanks for stopping by the Comair Updates thread to cheer us up.
