The flights were already operating. It's just a change in pilot categories. The flights were previously being operated by NYC & ATL ER crews on multi-day trips. No new flights or heavy metal.

There were two concessionary packages during that time...one of which "guaranteed" the pilots growth...which Delta then dishonored. Had Delta honored the agreement they made at their Comair division, Comair would have had well over 170 airframes on property. Instead, they took the easy way out and declared bankruptcy to nullify their obligation to grow Comair.
We're saving a lot of money on fuel by not operating thirty airplanes that are sitting on the ground at CVG any given day. Way to cut costs guys!

- Everyone here today would have seniority to hold Captain
- Current Captains would be off reserve
- Nobody would need to go to JFK or CVG
- We would have twice as many untrained crew schedulers
- Today's furloughs would instead be Captains or very senior FOs
- The most junior furlough would instead have 700 pilots below him
- We would have a crew cost in line with other DCI operators
- Driver would have twice the flight attendants to photograph for his avatar
- Nobody in DCI would be griping about Mesa
Now as far as Comair having too many 50s, the 2005 "199-aircraft deal" would have given us mostly 700s, so we'd have close to 60 or 70 on property today. Too bad Comair had a trip to court while Delta grew the rest of DCI.
Just imagine how much money Comair could make for Delta if we had those 199 aircraft parked to save fuel.

The guarantee was 199 aircraft. At 11 pilots per aircraft, we would have 2200 pilots on property which would hypothetically mean:
