It went through, but effective 2035.

You tree hugging Biden lovers fail to accept the reality of HISTORY and keep dreaming of utopias. Wake up!!

Delta to Shut Down Comair

By Doug Cameron And Saabira Chaudhuri
Updated July 27, 2012 6:32 pm ETDelta Air Lines Inc. DAL -5.29% plans to close its Cincinnati-based Comair Inc. feeder airline this fall, reflecting the high costs and declining ridership of the small, fuel-thirsty jets used by it and other regional carriers.

High fuel prices have upended the small regional jets that blossomed in the U.S. during the early 1990s, transforming small-city airports and becoming a hit with passengers used to flying turboprops. Hundreds of regional jets are parked in the desert as airlines moved to larger, more efficient planes.

Oops.

We all know there were way more factors to the shutdown of Comair than fuel costs.

I don’t know, but you could be a former regional employee from those final years at Comair. If you did work there, we may have been acquainted, and you know this headline was a little misleading. Fuel is a cost and it was expensive, for a time. As my old friend Paul Harvey would say....”after this commercial break, stay tuned for the rest of the story.”

Depends greatly on the future of United.





United Airlines said Wednesday that it finished one of the worst years in its history by losing $1.9 billion in the last three months of 2020, and it predicted more of the same in the first quarter of this year.

The loss was wider than analysts expected. The number of U.S. airline passengers had been building slowly since May but was hammered again when COVID-19 cases began surging in the fall, causing health experts to beg people to stay home.United lost $7.1 billion in 2020, an amount exceeded only in 2005, when bankruptcy-related costs pushed the company to a $21 billion loss. Including debt and severance payments, the airline burned through $33 million in cash per day.

Revenue plunged 69% in the fourth quarter compared with a year earlier. United predicted a similar decrease — between 65% and 70% — in the first quarter of 2021, a slightly more pessimistic view than the one expressed by Delta Air Lines last week.

Good lord. Talk about fear mongering. I’m not sure how you even sleep at night.

Nothing burger. The Cares2 money expired 3/31. All these people were told they would be furloughed again when the money expired. The true test will be this summer when the LOA for pilot furloughs expires.

If you are talking about the United LOA, it doesn’t terminate this summer unless demand is back and the pilots are needed, otherwise we have it until 10/22.
