If DAL/LLC are talking with the DOT/DOJ, as advertised in the media, I would think that they may be close to coming to some sort of compromise.

I would think we would need to hire and Comair might be able to avoid getting decimated as badly as they are. Weren't they supposed to get some of the slot swap flying back when this was initially announced?

Just a guess though.

Well Bucking Bar, and the completion of the SLI we had, 12,434 pilots. This included all of those on various types of leave or furlough bypass as well.
Today we have 12,300 exactly.
We have about 740 jets or about 16.62 pilot per airplane.

Oh and I could about 357 pilots that are no longer on the seniority list.

Wouldn't that be nice! How fast could the slot swap happen and we actually start flying, could it be before summer? Would that stem the outflow of DC9s or would it largely remain connection flying? The reason I ask is because a number of the USAir slots were for smaller cities.
What's the likelihood that I'll see any of those new hire FA's on the 777?

Comair has some of the oldest CRJ's in the DCI fleet. They're up for checks, new engines, & costly MX. That & customers hate the CR2's, & DAL no linger wants them. I think the Comair fleet will continue to shrink regardless of the slot swap.

Umm. I don't think we (the Bears) can win without a quarterback.
Or, a pass rush.
