Not quite getting it
Maybe it's the single-malt glasses I'm looking through, ( see my last post...sorry), but it looks like the only eliminated route for Comair is the CVG-HSV. Am I missing something?
Bubba stated we're looking at approx. 85 hulls by 2010, and another poster here estimated 850 pilots needed. Is our crew/aircraft ratio 5/1? Are we "right-sized" currently, or are we looking at another 300+ furloughs?
Slightly related note...I seem to remember rumor that several of Mesa's -900's being kept on Comair's cert. by Delta. Might be ancient info., but that one was floating around last year. Anyone? Anyone?

Other airlines might be flying segments that are over 750 miles, and due to the fact that Delta have contractual obligations with non wholly owned carriers, all the cuts will come from Comair and Mesaba.

"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."

(SARCASM)In that article, they claim Comairs' staffing levels will not change. I'm not a math major but that doesn't add up. RHS? Ya know, its' bad when group leaders are telling people to find another job or have a back up plan.

If the 80 a/c fleet plan is where we're heading then our end fleet totals will be CR2=52, CR7=15, and CR9=13.
The only -900's on our cert are the 13 we currently have.
One thing to note is as of May 2010, Delta can cancel CHQ and S5's contract without cause. Delta has already figured out how much it would cost to assume aircraft leases and/or purchase those aircraft, that are operated by those carriers for DCI; as agreed to in the contract. Now the question is would BB make Delta honor that if the contracts were canceled or would BB keep the aircraft for RAH/YX/F9 flying?
