Are they hoping that the most recent news scares people into considering the EO/55 program?

Why even put a deadline on it?

They are trying to paint the bleak picture in hopes that more people will take this package. I don't think it's going to work though. There is nowhere for people to go.

Enrollment Window Extended for Voluntary Packages11-Feb-2009
Comair announced today the enrollment period for the two voluntary programs - the 55-Point Program and Early Out Program - has been extended for an additional two weeks. The new deadline to elect to participate is the close of business (5 p.m. EST) on February 23. Departure dates will vary depending on the business need.

"In light of yesterday's announcement regarding the creation of Regional Handling Services (RHS), we have extended the enrollment period for Comair's two voluntary programs - the 55-Point Program and Early Out Program - for an additional week," said Karla Russo, vice president of Human Resources in her memo to the Comair team.

There's a typo that makes quite a difference. Good thing we furloughed our proofreaders.

Actually, they're making it twice daily. Comair is only going to be operating one of the daily flights. I assume Pinnacle is going to still be operating the other one.

Actually, each of us will be doing half of both. Pinnacle will fly LGA-DSM in the morning, sit 7 hours, and DSM-LGA in the evening. Comair will fly LGA-DSM in the evening, have a 37 hour layover, and fly DSM-LGA two mornings later.

I know it doesn't make sense to the pilots, but we don't see the big picture.

To Delta it makes perfect sense.
