Comair still has ground handling services. Just not at CVG anymore.

how are people finishing ground early they just taking the system test early? And do you still got to wait longer to start the sims?

Stay tuned
It's good to have something up here on occasion other than the typical shenanigans/speculation/conjecture from the peanut gallery. I think it's no coincidence that, other than Mesa, Pinnacle had the lowest block hour costs of the Delta regionals... and that's who Delta chose to give Mesaba. And I bet TSA is somewhere down there with Pinnacle in terems of block hour costs. One encouraging thing to note is ASA's block hour costs, and they had a buyer in Skywest...? One thing I didn't understand is how she just throws out the value of the 50-seat jets when figuring the $30 million price tag for Comair. Effectively, she says the 50 seaters are worth nothing... only the 70+ seaters have value. The CEO of Pinnacle said in his Q&A on the Mesaba purchase that he is looking to capitalize on the over 500 50 seat leases that expire in the next 5 years. And of course, the ground handling services thing...?

Stirs discussion at least.

Latest non-airline news going around:

"Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer.
It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.
Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff drink'.
Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO".

Nights and weekends are about to get better......enjoy!.

Hearing through the grape vine that ASA might have a huge deal coming it's way. This might make the news. Looks like they might buy TSA.

First, I thought that the person who posted this had an over active imagination.

Then, I saw it was trailblazer. You remind me of general lee. Please go away, you aren't wanted here.

I just want to get called back because I really need to have my wisdom teeth pulled.

Seriously. It is expensive.
