I have to agree with Trailblazer on this one. I am sure there were positive talks, but i highly doubt Delta would staple us to the bottom of their seniority list without going through the infamous Delta interview. Sounds great but highly improbable.

Unless I am missing something Skywest can't buy just the assets unless Delta dismantles Comair first. If Skywest buys Comair they have to integrate the lists. Read the successorship paragraph in the contract.

I know you didn't start the rumor about the announcment and I know things don't look good but it's just all the rumors I hear, I have not heard or seen any hard evidence of Comair's total demise. Things aren't good at OH, morale, poor staffing, etc. But why pay all this money to open a new base just to close it in the near future? This person who started the rumor said the big bad one was today. Basically, it would be announced SkyWest bought all of our assets but isn't taking the employees here at OH...it didn't happen. If I got some real facts I couldn't spill it because he'd (my hubby) would get in trouble. But I don't have any facts about anything. He got tons of calls re: this bad announcement. It was a shock that DS was terminated and was told he didn't resign voluntarily.
You are correct about DS. He was forced out. I know for a fact that Skywest will only buy the aircraft and routes from Comair. They do not want employees. When management starts jumping ship you will know the ship is sinking.

[COLOR=black]I would think Sywest makes the purchase and merges us with ASA and XJT. ASA is understaffed and all their furloughs are back. We're having to cover cancelled flights by ASA. Union is fighting like hell to get all our furloughs back because we're understaffed.

I'm curious if your "deepthroat" is in CVG, ATL, or SLC? One post you claim to have insider info about ASA, then you claim to have insider info about SkyWest, and then you have inside info from Comair on DS being forced out? I suppose you golf with the Dick Anderson?
Wait - Are you that A$$Clown Roger Cohen?

I know XJT still has furloughed pilots. A friend of mine just got a recall while another one is still almost 60 away. According to APC they have 200 still out. I just wonder how they merge the pilot list when people are out on the street. Anyone know how this works? Do you bump someone onto the street is you become more senior to them or do you wait for recall and than send them down the seniority list when you get back?

I don't know about XJT. I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

Usually staple furloughs to the bottom
