If I could just make an observation, it really won't matter if this is true or not.
It seems that the legacy airlines are usually either all doing relatively well, or are all precariously close to bankruptcy.When they are all close to bankruptcy they are searching for the magic management team miracle to bring them to solvency.When times are good they are all hailed as management geniuses.If Leo Mullin were in charge right now it would be his turn to be the genius.
Just sayin'.

Since we are going over so much of the history of Comair's demise what about the loss of MCO flying?
Was it a concessionary contract "to receive extra jets" that got DL to put CHQ in there?
I recall rumors from that time that pilot groups were taking concessions to take planes from other regionals. If that is correct I find it amazing it was not just the companies pushing the race to the bottom.
I am thankful at least two regional pilot groups have voted down concessions recently. Hopefully others will follow and not pull a CHQ (if that is what happened over there)

We need to be helping the regional pilots behind us. Just because we had it more difficult doesn't mean everyone should. We need to be striving to get every regional pilot on the mainline seniority list. That is the only way to get all regional feed back in house.

Thanks!
