They keep chomping away at domestic market share.
Don't worry. Management and DALPA have it all figured out. We will offer a superior product known as the CRJ. It will fly passengers from Birmingham to Atlanta once every hour. They will be crewed with the most dedicated employees to Delta. A rewarding experience if I say so myself. Worth every penny!

The DC9 has time travel too, just no "time capture." Thats why we're a little late sometimes, we just get a little behind rolling the that wheel to the correct time. It doesn't work all the time either, we allways seem to be stuck in the late 60s or early 70s... whats up with that anyway?

No growth at Comair, it's all ASA.

Comair is, for all intents and purposes, dead.

Don't act like I'm happy about it, because I'm not. I feel terrible for all of my friends at Comair getting canned and displaced.

Thank you for your compassion. I do not think you are happy about it nor do I expect anyone to feel sorry for us. As far as I’m concerned, I want all the DCI flying to go to mainline so I can have a job that pays a living I can survive on.

Well, that really doesn't happen at mainline until about year 4 and if your a CRJ captain now, you won't make more than you do now until year 3 at mainline. I was going to complain about the cap causing us to make less than RJ guys the first four years here, but then sailing would probably get too excited.
