Just wondering about this letter saying Comair is going to be flying NWA Airlink flights. It says:

When making public address announcements, please remember to acknowledge Northwest Airlink
branding (Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Northwest Airlink flight thirty seven twenty eight…).
There may be circumstances where you will fly into a hub as a Delta Connection flight and leave the hub
as a Northwest Airlink flight. Every attempt will be made to keep these situations to a minimum.

A while back, FA's were told that during their PA it was "Delta XXXX to wherever" not "Comair XXXX" because of this ridiculous "Seamless transition" crud. I also did my PA as "Delta Flight XXXX" and stopped saying Comair. Now, NWA is owned by Delta, but they want you to say "NWA Airlink"?? DOES ANYONE IN MANAGEMENT HAVE ANY CLUE AS TO WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON AROUND THIS COMPANY!?! Wait, I know the answer to that....NO!!!!!

By the way, anyone see the sad little "RJ Cookie"? (SEE BELOW LINK) HA! Seamless transition, my A$$

You should know better than to ask questions.. Delta also now owns Compass, but I believe they still go by "Compass"

I am hearing that Delta and Compass are in talks of stapling Compass to the bottom of Delta. Then a merge between Mesaba and Comair and the Comair name will go away. Give it about 10 months max and watch what happens.

I think you are right. We will be called Alliance Air.

I got this info from Airliners.net. They are freaking out over it. Pretty funny. I think these are Comair flights.

Talked to a buddy today who is also taking the early out. He called forecasting and planning to try and get information on separation dates for the 55Point/EO program. Get this..... Apparently after the company was issued these extra block hours they freaked and wished that they hadn't offered the buyout when they did. They told him that the company probably won't be able to tell the early out guys when they will be able to start announcing separation dates until after the displacement bid results have been published(mid April.) The reason being that we are suppose to have around a 2500 hour block REDUCTION from September through the end of the year. That reduction is suppose to come out of CVG leaving the remainder of our flying in the NE. I guess he and others asked why the company couldn't just recall a few guys and let the 55/EO guys go since it would be cheaper to the company and they said that it wouldn't make sense for them to recall guys and then turn around and furlough them again in September. It makes complete sense.

Remember the email from RP that said they didn't see the need to have any additional furloughs at least through August?

Geeze...... They won't even let you leave this place.

Or what about Air Whiskey. Do they even fly anymore to the state of which they are named after? I guess they're HQ and ground training is in Appleton, but all their domiciles are on the east coast, after they lost all their United flying. Thats going to be Comair soon.

So any guesses to what this new domicile for us is? My only guess is BOS, but I'm wondering if we'll ever have something like DTW.

I've heard it's either BOS and LGA. I'm hoping for BOS because that's where I'm from, but I'll move to PA if it's a NY base and just drive in.

How is the employee parking in JFK?

I can't wait to get out of CVG.

I also just emailed the mods to see if they can fix the page number problem on this thread. Is there anyone out there that isn't having the page number problem?

I heard today that BOS is not going to happen....LGA is more likely...also heard that its going to be +/-125 crews displaced to JFK

Right I forgot about LGA. Makes sense anyway. But who wants to bet its going to be a duel crew base up there. Instead of being just JFK or LGA based, it will be considered NYC base, and we'll be responsible for covering both airports! That means we'll have to carry our kit bag with us. DL and AA cover all three airports and I'm sure Comair would love us to do the same.

correct me if I'm wrong but is there language in the contract preventing an NYC base?
