Comair's trend is to announce growth, wait two weeks, then announce that the "growth number" actually has a minus (-) sign on it.
3825 Delta. That is all.
(Edit: looks like Bubba beat me to it)

Rest Rules
Probably not directly related to the latest bid but has the OH ALPA looked at the effect of the proposed changes to rest rules?? Some at Big D think they will need almost 10% more pilots. As I recall (I left OH a few years ago) OH ran things legal but tight.
If the majors need to boost their numbers the flow might start again - at least for their initial plus up.

This vacancy bid is NOT to reinstate displaced Captains back to Captains. As Andy stated, it’s just getting some FO’s back to CVG because. Delta decided to cut our flying out of JFK and give it to Shuttle America, so they send some of us back to CVG. It’s not good news by any means.
I would not worry about a Comair recall. Soon airlines like Eagle, TSA, RAH, SkyWest, ASA, and others will start hiring. It will not take 10 years to upgrade to a Captain. Forget about Comair recalling. Even if it happens, why would you want to be on reserve in a crash pad a JFK for the next 3 years and be an FO making less than $45,000 for the next 10 years?
To the guys that are starting recall rumors, please stop.

It seems that the furlough dates have been coinciding with lease returns. Also a major point is that "IF" Delta were to have Comair fill the void at CVG for Freedom, there's just no way Comair could do it all. Freedom is operating 22 aircraft out of here. We could fill in a little bit by utilizing the aircraft more and not have any spares. Might need a few pilots to return to beef up reserves. Of course this is all speculation and we know DCI's track record when it comes to Freedom flying or aircraft!
P.S. Mesa will survive longer than Comair.
