Wow.

Awesome news. I got displaced to JFK, my new house will be completed next week, and now I will have to commute to somewhere else. I drive to JFK now.

I love the airline industry.

 

I think the next few weeks will be very telling for Comair's future (note..not ComAir..would you guys please stop that ).

Freedom does around 50 departures a day out of DTW, and of course however much out of CVG.

If Delta turns around and gives all the DTW departures to Mesaba and Compass, and Comair gets NOTHING. Then I think the writing will be as clear as ever on the wall. But I honestly don't see this happening.

In regard to the CVG stuff, and the rest of Freedom's routes. This is great for DL, as they get to drop 50 seaters. But those routes aren't going anywhere, I really don't think you're going to see much more capacity cut. Maybe a few routes here and there, but those destinations are served for a reason, Delta won't just drop them. Comair has the airplanes to pick up the slack operationally.(how much are they running now...like 4 hours a day?)

My two cents in this whole mess, but I'm really itching to get back to Comair, and to 2nd year pay..than start over at some other airline at 1st year.

I've been trying to get to other airlines for almost 2 years now..with no luck (hired by 3 in that span..started with none of them for their varied operational reasons).

So I'm thinking that happened for a reason, as it stands i'm a 9/07 hire and 145 from recall. I wouldn't be surprised in all honesty if there are a bunch o' recalls because of these recent events.

Let's hope..we've been kicked long enough!

 

You guys crack me up with your speculations and rumors. Why don't you guys just wait for an official announcement IF this is actually going to happen.

Andy, didn't you get hired at Eagle?

 

I think the one thing we can all agree on no matter what our status is with comair or other airlines... Mesa going out of business is good for the airline industry... who gets the immediate benefit of MAG's demise is still up for speculation, but in the end the industry just lost a huge problem and we will all be better off in the long run without them... I just hope the newer mesa pilots don't get blackballed from the industry just because their CEO is a raving lunatic and their union is weaker than the kid that gets picked last at kickball...

 

Eagle, Mesaba and Cape Air

 

Andy, have you been drinking???

 

U b quite you. ILL come over their and kick you. *hic* Donnot make ye' olde grammer nazi take a paige out of his (mein) Kamphffffffff, the paige that said ILL kick you.

 

Comair delivered bad news a couple of days before thanksgiving so I think this does not apply to Comair or ComAir (messing with you Andy).

By the way isn't ASA going to buy our CRJ 200s and we are done by the end of the year as a company?

 

Ya, where's "trailblazer" on all this cOmaiR news/rumors?
...must not be back in from recess yet!

 

past his bed time...
