Its a wide spectrum of rumors aviator. When the memo came out about Comair's new strategy in September most of us newly returning FO's thought we would be canned again by the end of March.
The company put out the early out plans again and this time they had about 70 takers.
Comair is also losing quite a few pilots (looks like 10/mo) and so the projected furloughs
MIGHT not happen until 2012.
Most folks feel that this is Delta's last chance to get Comair trimmed up enough to sell. If they can't sell a 49 plane company then the most likely next step would be to dissolve it and send the planes to whomever will give 4-1 trades on the 50.
