I know what they're doing, and I don't like it either. Heck, they were doing the same with Mesaba. I was just trying to point out it was an indirect cause from the strike and current contract. Just because it didn't happen immediately doesn't change that. There is much I don't understand in big business. I think nowdays all they care about is the dollar and their shareholders, cause it sure doesn't seem like they care about the majority their decisions affect. It's all about making the most money, the quickest way possible. Being whollly owned allows them to take a loss and a business write off, which is easier and more cost effective that trying to break contracts with other regional carriers. Regional carriers are changing, and will once again be a stepping stone. I wish you all the best of luck

Actually it was a $2.1 billon, they already had $750 million invested, were you guys actually there?
We grew faster after the strike than ever before.

My point about standing up to managment is they now use comair as an example to all otheres that you dont' mess with them.
comairs problem stems from the fact the are cvg based and nobody wanted to buy into that market, plain and simple, do you really think asa is a better product?
if you do you really have lost it.

Feel better now? That's what I was saying without the childish antics, and the contract I was referring to is the pilot's contract

Managment loves the fact that idiots like you are never going to stand up to them because of your ignorant belief that comair is being dismantled because of the strike.
Grow up.
I didn't just watch Comair, I lived it. And you don't think the strike ticked off the Daddy D, look at the other connection carriers. Comair started to go down hill just after being sold to Delta, then we strike for no reason and things go backwards. Then our weak MEC decides to take another paycut, although they called it a freeze to get more airplanes. Then better yet, when it is time to snap back to our pay rates, they decide to get walked on. Trust me now that I am out of the sweatshop and understand how the masters work over their slaves, I see it so clear. And idiots like me are at a Major airline. Furthermore, you are most likely one of those 300 hr wonders that I had to teach how to fly after you had 90 hours of IOE.

I disagree, many years ago companies wern't so agressive, and showed more compassion for their employees. It was more like a big family.
