Nah, I didn't think so...
It looks like Mesaba is losing the props in the next 2 years, but they have a lot of 900's, so they should be ok.

36 hours in Springfield would me more appropriate for Comair crews

if chopping the airline in half makes us ok....yeah we're going to be ok.

dont get me wrong. you guys have taken it youknowhow a lot more than we have. But to say that mesaba is going to be ok isnt quite right.

Good luck with the good fight.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know exactly how many of the -200s had the 40-seat configuration a few years back? How about the registrations for those aircraft? Bubba, I'm sure you know this

Only the -100's had the 40 seat configuration. I really don't know how many were originally configured with 40 seats. The last one was being reconfigured by the time I came back to Comair from MAG.

WIPilot:
I apologize if I came across not caring about your situation at Mesaba; one job lost at any airline is a big deal to me. I understand the frustration of being furloughed as I was furloughed from Comair in January.
I’m not trying to make light of the situation at Mesaba, but having the largest number of 900’s is not a pad position to be in. You will start losing you props slowly in a 2 year span. Hopefully attrition will take care of any excess staffing. Good luck to all of us wholly owned DCI crews.

Thumbs down More Good News, NOT

From Cincinnati.com

"But she said Delta was "reevaluating" staffing levels at the newly created Regional Elite subsidiary, the new company that includes former Comair workers and is designed to handle all ground operations for Delta's regional flying."

"During this week's conference call, Delta executives also said are eliminating all flights on 50-seat regional jets that are longer than 750 miles. Comair primarily flies 50-seat planes."
