I think DAL needs one WO as a shock absorber. I see status quo as the future for CMR.

I still stand by all post regarding Comair. This company is finished. However, there is talk of maybe, and I really mean maybe by a long shot, that Comair pilots might merge with Delta. This is really a long shot. Well see. Oh and by the way Asa is suppose to get another 16 700/900 aircraft soon.

Ya I would not put it past them to wipe clean are 700/900. So far trailblazer your rumors are becoming facts. Maybe tomorrow maybe next year time will tell. Today has been foreseen by some. But for other it has been steel toe boot kick to the groin.

So, looking at the Training/Transfer schedule. Some folks are transferring on Aug. 1 from JFK to CVG, incl. recalls that are starting class Aug. 1. Does that mean no hotel and no per diem now while in training, since they are technically CVG based? That sucks!

Delta pilots would kill the airline before they let that happen. Also, management hated the flows so much that they sold both airlines for chump change. No chance comair will merge with Delta.

Are you serious, Stinky? The only thing he's gotten right was ASA rebranding to Atlantic Southeast, (and that was only what...like, 1 day before that huge, earth-shattering announcement).

His/her "Comair's in trouble and will not be here next year!!" rant has worn thin with me. No s#@t sherlock...every pilot at Comair has thought that since at least 1999.

Trailblazer's predictions so far;
)Told us to "wake up and look for another job" because someone was bemoaning no recalls a couple months ago.Also;
)"You guys aren't going to like the news next week"...this was all before the recalls.
)ASA's new 70's were coming from Comair...oops!!.. they're coming from Horizon instead.
)The majority of the Freedom flying was going to ASA/Skywest...nope!
)ASA's recalling all furloughed and hiring 5 LCA's "for future growth"...it appears that's not the case.
)Delta had not given OH crew planning any winter forecasts because, "Delta has discontinued Comair flying after the summer schedules".
)Our pilots leaving Comair due to the imminent break-up would "...transfer over to Compass"
etc., etc....

Ya...he's a little Nostradamus, alright!

Delta has publicly stated that they want 4 or 5 DCI carriers.

I honestly think the 4-5 carriers are going to be:

Mesaba, Compass, Pinnacle, ASA and Skywest.

Every single one of those airlines has agreements through 2020.

Comair does not....I don't think this is a good sign at all.

It doesn't make sense at all. Delta sold both for dirt cheap. Why wouldn't comair be sold for cheap like that? You guys really think nobody would spend 20 million to get the 70s/90s? They won't sell comair yet they will dismantle them and make nothing? I bet comair is sold.

Is management really that stupid to dismantle something they paid 2 billion for? Anything is possible and I don't think it would surprise anybody but its crazy.
