This will work out swell... Since the Comair fleet is down 12% and pilot group is down 25%, we are already way ahead of the curve!

 

I can already tell how this is going to go down.........

 

Remember the rumor about Comair having a fleet of 80 aircraft? I wonder how those Compass guys feel about the FLOW BACK now? That sucks for them, but it also sucks for us if there is anything on the table for a merge of regionals.

 

Isn't that part of our new and improved perfomance goals?. We not only are going to meet, we will exceed Delta's requirement. It makes us look "good".

 

With over half the fleet and employee group sitting on the sidelines, there should be no excuse for not getting 100% completion days.

Congrats to the entire Comair team!

 

Vaguely. I'll start a new rumor that states Comair will have 20 aircraft (all Saabs) by the end of 2009.

 

I somehow guess this with result in flying being taken away from us and many more 100% competion days. Does our performance really even matter?

 

Nice.........it would be fun to see those 20+ years senior folks in a Saab. Their egos will crush them......Nice fantasy

 

I don't think that matters. I am possibly leaving this company in the next couple of weeks, so this is more a piece of advise for those that plan to stick around to see what happens.

Your merger committee is hard at work. Now, more than ever Delta and DCI, or whatever the new holding company will be is going to push that flow through clause. This announcement will give fuel to both sides of the argument. However, Delta and Northwest pilots are going to be pushing for the FLOW BACK and there are much more of them than there is of you. Now is the time to make your voice heard that you don't want a Flow Through. You will never see it!

British Airways and Quantas are in merger talks now. Do you think that will shed more pilot jobs. And to think that there was talks about a pilot shortage last year. Boy that changed pretty quick.

 

Since that's all they ever talk about ("back in the bro'/saab days, blah blah blah), I think many would actually welcome the opportunity!
