They offered to pay off MAG to cancel Freedom's contract, but JO gave them the finger, so Delta canceled anyways. They were able to buy off Xjet's contract and Big Sky went belly up.

Delta has already come up with a cost and plan for cancelling Chautauqua and S5's contract. If the stockholders are indeed on RA's butt, then I'd look for some contract cancellations in March when Chautauqa and S5's contract can be cancelled. Delta might have to take on the leases on those aircraft if BB pushes for it per the contract. SkyWest is safe and ASA is pretty safe, until those performance milestones come due. If I remeber correctly have to make themselves cheaper than Compass and Mesaba to stay in the game.

Bubba, who has to make themselves cheaper to stay in the game? If what you say is true about RA, why not just tell the shareholders that? I say let the shareholders' revolt!! Down with R.A.!! Down with SOAP!! Down with high prices at the gas pump! Down with Walmarts' misleading advertising about having the lowest prices!!!

VIVA LA DELTA!!! VIVA LA COMAIR!!! VIVA LA FRANCE!!!!! (okay I got a little carried away there, but I alway heard that last line in comedies.)

ASA has to be able to offer the cheapest operating costs in the DCI system. It's one of the operational milestones in the contract.

everyone-

I am going to file for NY state unemployment tomorrow (I was JFK based). The New York website says I need to provide a address of where I worked. Do I use the Erlanger, KY address or do I need to have an address in New York state?

File in KY through interstate claims...you get more money! 415 a week. I think NY was around 260 a week.

It's almost like we've had this discussion sometime, because the kid mowing the lawn comparison is the same one I've been using for years.

Now with Republic buying Midwest and Frontier to compete with their mainline partners, we need to update the comparison...

It's like paying the neighbor kid $20 to mow your lawn, knowing he's going to spend it on spraypaint and condoms. And did I mention, the side of your garage keeps getting tagged and he wants to date your daughter?

Delta logic - don't try to figure it out.

Is that good or bad? And how about captains? Do they just need FO's in CVG?

Hey guys. I flew at OH for one year before leaving in early '08. I had heard about the C concourse at CVG being abandoned, but had never been though Cincy until a few days ago. It was a shock to see absolutely nothing going on at C. Really drove home how tough it is. It actually made me sad thinking about the time spent flying in and out of there. Best of luck to all the Comair pilots on furlough. Things will get better.
