Maybe those guys can still recapture some of that flying.
If mgmt says CMR is 20% overcost operating CRJ50's w/ 14 people what is the cost to operate a DC-9 or MD-80 w/ 14 pax over the same rte? It won't be going to DAL.....

Here's the trick with the WSJ: They don't let you read the whole story unless you are a subscriber, so what you do is copy the headline and paste it into a Google™ search, and then click on the result that looks right. In this case it is:
Delta Air Lines to Shrink Regional Unit Comair - WSJ.com
Note - this link won't work either, you'll have to do the cutting & pasting yosef.

Sometimes they run two stories with the same headline on different days. Make sure you get the one that is most recent.

As a side note, the WSJ is a terrific paper. I subscribe to both the at-home print addition and also the online addition.

Ask a Midwest Express Pilot about that one.

Shows that you don't know your history very well.

What kind of aircraft were operated at Air Wisconsin and Horizon in a regional roll long before the CRJ was on the boards?

How many CRJ were on the property when Mesaba operated jet aircraft with a First Class section?

When did the Delta contract begin to restrict code-sharing?

When did the seat limitation get tightened (remember your BAE-146's at 88 seats)?

There was no trade of scope for payrates when the CRJ showed up at CMR and SKYW. Delta was furloughing pilots when the first one flew, and that was a full 3 years after the DAL pilot contract was signed.

So, someone asked me a serious question today. Is it ok to pick up Extra Flying now since this company is going downhill and there is zero chance of recalls?


Just because this company is getting shrunk starting next year doesn't really have anything to do with staffing right now! We all know we are short on pilots, especially on the 50 Captain side!

More importantly, is there a good reason to use PPAS anymore?
