one could only hope... I would see this as a positive move in comair's future. Remember JS has a history in dismantling companies. If they were going to tear us apart he would be the man for the job.

let me edit this..... unless of course JS is headed back to a post with American on his own accord. I assume getting rid of a company is pretty easy and almost anyone can do it.

Yup. The SOCC is already down quite a few bodies due to the reduction in flying. My guess is that the "right sizing" will continue unabated until the cost savings reach 100%.

Today is the resignation of JS.

I have heard 2 possibilities:

CEO of Mesaba will replace JS, just the previous announcements indicated (combining upper level staff, but not merge)

DS will replace JS.
