Comair will have the smallest fleet of any airline flying for DCI.

And it's still true if you count SKW and ASA as separate companies.

At the historical rate of Compass growth and Comair shrinkage, Compass will be as big as Comair in 1 year and 10 months.

"For January the overall block hours dropped substantially which does play a part on the outcome of our pairing solutions, however, even with the total block hours dropping we were able to maintain the same type of trip distribution and productivity as offered to you in December. We will continue to focus on improving in these two areas."



Just pulling this up from one year ago (12/07/2007)...

Compare to 10,704 hours in January 2009 and Driver's frown should get a lot worse:

-5,977

Reminds me of Episode V when Boba Fett watches Lando get scrood by Vader again and again, and Fett saying to himself "Good thing I had Lord Vader put our deal in writing..."
Is there nothing that a Star Wars reference can't make better? I think not!

The Freedom chunk might only be 30, but doesn't Mesa, an airline with one pilot seniority list, have over 200 planes?

Yeah, that was an indication of things to come. The thing that first caught my attention was that one day while riding the bus on the way out I counted 12 DoJets at A at the same time. Concourse C has 48 gates. They were getting 20% of the CVG departures. That seemed like a lot at the time.

But they were great to have around. They were doing EVV, TOL, TRI, etc, all the short haul stuff leaving the MSP, IAH, HOU, OKC, TUL for Comair.

Everyone moaned and complained about how slow they flew and screwed up the arrivals into CVG and that was about the biggest complaint.

Funny how things change.

Who is laughing anymore though??
