Anything is possible.

But what is far more likely is that it will operate as is unless a MASSIVE concessionary agreement is made. The only benefit Comair provides Delta at this point is the flexibility to add flight hours during the busy season and subtract hours during the slow season.

This is largely accomplished by the bad reserve system and ability to adjust the min line values somewhat. Aircraft productivity is not a priority (if that statement doesn't make me master of the obvious).

If this benefit is no longer a "benefit" to delta, the best theory I've heard is that the 50 seaters will be returned as the leases come due and the 70's & 90's will be transferred to someone else (The ASA - Skywest - Xjet conglomerate?).

Back to topic... ANY of the above possibilities are not worth anything to anyone below seniority number 400.

Small amounts of research show that if you are furloughed at the time of a merger....you just get stapled to the bottom of the new SLI list.

1100 (or so) pilots will receive NO BENEFIT from this merger fund. If the Comair MEC tells everyone different, they are lying to keep your money.

As stated two posts prior..... It is time to return the merger fund money.
