More Questions:

When Comair makes a $40 million profit, which airline actually gets the money?

When RAH makes a $40 million profit, which airlines actually get the money?

 

Now I don't have access to the whole article, but yeah you have a fleet of 725 mostly 50 seat regional jets but why replace them if we're (for instance) getting rid of 50 seaters?

Or maybe they're looking at bigger than 76 "regional" jets. Maybe some branded flying? In that case, boy I'm glad we didn't do anything about AE/AMR flying in LAX, RAH flying with Frontier, TSA buying Mitsubishi jets, and now as we all think could eventually happen, Skywest will jump into that same holdings style flying. Maybe, maybe not.

chances of getting language in C2012 ending all of this outsourcing to fund competitors is as unlikely as saying end all outsourcing. We'll see how far this goes but if we fight this like we should I don't see any contract being signed within the next few years.

 

I'm not aware of a replacement aircraft for the 50-seat CRJ / ERJ.

What am I missing here?

 

We've got a lot of mess cleaning up to do in our next contract.

 

Or, let's remember that with constructive engagement you're playing with fire. A tiger is a tiger is a tiger, you can't make them into something else.



One of those is ALPA and one of those is the pilot group since we're in this process together. The tiger can be played by Delta Air Lines and their stockholders. Remember, we can make all the friends at the GO we want but we're not going to make friends with outside forces.

And damn that's a really feminine look we've got going right now.

 

I think the more accurate questions are:

When Comair loses $40 million, which airline actually pays the money?

When RAH makes a $40 million profit, which airlines actually paid the money?

 

I don't know, but I don't think so. When we got the 777-200LR we didn't get any rate modification from our 777 rate. One of the MD-90's we bought is an MD-90-30ER, and there's not a rate difference there either.

 

Slow day at the crashpad. It's hard to predict the exact future, but once the DC-9 flush is complete and assuming every DC-9 Captain who can bumps into another Captain slot, it looks like the junior Captains will be a '98 South hire and '96 North hire.

 

Slow,

Your numbers (at least the direction) are probably right, but, Delta has done about everything possible to hurt Comair, following their strike. Pulling Comair's operations down resulted in very inefficient utilization of jets and crews. Sticking them with the old and unloved jets while trading away their new and more efficient jets made them more expensive. Using them as the Crack Spackle to fill in for Mesa killed their operational integrity and increased costs.

There is no doubt Delta is the worst regional airline management team in the history of the business.

Today we could buy AMR and their New York terminal for half of what we paid for Comair.

Comair's problems are not Comair's fault. They are division of Delta and Delta has spent around $18 billion (rough guess) feeding and expanding Comair's competition.

Maybe you can explain it to me, it does not make any sense unless this is some sort of vindictive thing that should be in the special victims unit of some Kentucky family law practice.

Imho they should have either expanded Comair and made it sexy to sell it, or taken it out back and shot it in the head. The "in between" has been painful to watch.
