Think I am going to have an ALPA union card burning ceremony this evening! I place most of the blame on them for allowing the whipsawing to continue! We are just the latest victim. I fear Pinnacle is next!

If the hiring needs at the majors weren't as they are currently expected, 9E could, very well, be on the chopping block too. If, IF the hiring needs continue, that might be able to buy them more years but eventually, you are correct. There will be a time when the seniority list will be too expensive to continue. Unfortunately, there were too many people in power that simply wanted Comair to be shut down.

I am so disappointed with ALPA, I'm not able to frame my thoughts properly.

I feel the chances that Pinnacle will be next are pretty high. Comair pilots gave at least a few rounds of concessions under pressure. Now we all know what that got them in return.

Comair RIP. You guys were the model that set the standard high for every other regional to aspire too.

Sorry to hear this news. Comair and the people I worked with were GREAT to me, and certainly did not deserve this. Guess I 'll be going to CVG to get some Comair stuff.

This is sad. Ever since the strike Delta has been systematically shrinking Comair in vengeance. I was there from June 1985 to Feb '88 (when I went to TWA) and had a great time flying the Embraer Bandeirante and the Metroliner. RIP

So when will my merger assessment fee be refunded?

Ha, that's a good one.

It needs to be since they said there was always a chance of Comair merging with someone. Obviously that's not going to happen now so give me my damn money back!

I personally like our condolence email from Lee Moak! So touching! I wanted to write a "thanks for selling out the regionals again" email! Rant over back to a beer in a can made possibly from one of our RJ's in the scrap yard!

Oh but it's not a merger fund, it's a "contingency fund".
