Well then, if SB said so then it HAS to be true, right? That's why I am flying around CRJ-700s in United Express colors operated by Comair with EFBs on board based out of Chicago and no pilots on furlough and a BOS base doing DL flying in brand new CRJ-900s with ACARS and EFBs. That's what SB told me!

Is JFK being replaced by DTW, LGA, or more reduction in flying?
He said DTW. Plans are still evolving since the Mesa trial ended. Said it was a done deal until that threw a wrench into things. It was also mentioned that Delta asked us about doing some extra flying and Comair is probably gonna say no because it will take too long to retrain furloughs. I had to leave so that's all I got. I can't believe we have 300 furloughs and we keep turning down flying!!!!

Besides, he probably applied to Comair and didn't pass the interview and now Comair is on his "hit list".



Yep. You got me

You sound like you're a Comair furlough and your career plan includes trying to scare a bunch of senior furloughs from accepting recall so you can get called earlier.

One thing I know is you're not some Delta executive with real info and you're not the president of Comair. I don't know who the president of Comair is this week, but he wouldn't be on a webboard telling his employees to flee.

So any background at all, or are you just here to toss grenades?


It wouldn't do any good. You would not take cover..Besides you would be to worried about my qualifications on how I Knew what a grenade was and If I knew what damage/kill zone it had.

Herd the opposite from a guy on how long it would take to return guys to the line. He herd Comair could ramp up very fast. Just guess work!

haven't posted on here for awhile, but thought I'd share what I was told. Pretty reliable source, same as years past which was 99.9% accurate.
Anyway, just as someone mentioned on here I believe, JFK will be closing. DTW is opening. 700/900 WERE going to LGA however that got nixed as recent as of last week. The latest i got is 700/900 are staying in CVG for now. However 50's going to DTW.
Guess we'll confirm on Friday.
