P1ayn: I'm sorry man. I shouldn't post when intoxicated. I don't blame you for the choices you've made and they are none of my business. Hell, I chose to come to this place and put myself in this perdiciment. I just really need some kind of positive news. Sorry.

From what I was told; from the same source that has given me my accurate information, There will most likely be more DISPLACEMENTS in the first quarter of 09. Unknown of the exact number.
The reason being is way back when displacements started with fleet reductions, staffing was based with attrition in mind. However as everyone is aware, that attrition is not occurring as the economy suffers. So DL/Comair has to revamp the numbers hence the displacments and furloughs.
Block hours are being reduced and now from what I was told will average bewteen 16k and 17,500 hours depending on season and month. The upside to that if there is one is that it settles and displays some sort of stableness in our block hours allowing comair/DL to re-evaluate the strategy and future.

We don't like the current state of affairs that Delta is putting Comair through and some of us wanted to look at other jobs with other regionals, cept there is no place to go, so we're sloggin it out here for now.
I say everyone just hang on, try to stay positive and attacks against your fellow pilots are not the way to go. I don't think anyone wants to see a fellow pilot on the street, unless thier unsafe. So let's stay positive, yes I know it's hard, my paycheck reflects that, but look at it this way, you could be LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!! (SNL GREAT CHRIS FARLEY)

LOL Playn I'll miss flying with ya (and all the other great guys here). Great captain and good guy. Personally I've always appreciated all the info you've posted here. Its always been accurate and useful information. Unfortunately, it also tends to be negative, but I don't blame the messenger.
