If you are currently furloughed from Comair, have good carpenter skills, and live in the CVG area I may have a deck repair job for you to make some extra money. email me at [email protected]

Your ex wife is a great white? You have my condolences. I was at the pool in the back yard filling it for some of my nieces and nephews when whoom!! It happened. I caught her on film as you can see. Working but not as a pilot. I hate this economy.

So what does everyone think about the latest rumor of Mesaba getting the 70/90's and Comair going dinosaur? I have also heard that Delta mainline is taking over the entire "B" concourse and above- below wing C/S is all moving to "A".
With that, over 400 folks will be furloughed from RHS since mainline lost all those international departures and Delta wants thier folks to do it.

Sounds legit, and they still have time to "blame it all on the economy".

Selfishly, I sort of hope it happens so I can get out of the XJ pool. Comair sure as heck isn't going to be getting any better anyway...

The displacement bid is out on epic. After looking at current positions filled and expected positions available it looks like exactly 100 furloughs. (and that's what is says beside the asterisk)

The Mesaba FAs have been learning the 700 in their recurrent ground classes. Seems like it's definitely something that has been talked about as a good possibility....moving the 700 to Mesaba.
Just to keep with the "Delta way" big daddy will first give them to ASA, then to Freedom, then to Pinnacle and then eventually to Mesaba.

My guess is Mesaba FA's are learning the 700's because Momma DAL is going to merge Mesaba & Comair. They already have to know the 200's & 900's. Teach them the 700's & BAM! Comair & Mesaba merge.

Why not just get rid of Comair and distribute the 70/90's to Mesaba and drop most of the 50 flying? Maybe give some to ASA, CHQ... It looks like it makes since to me from a business perspective... you would be able to get rid of all the dinosaurs on Comair's list.
