Delta lost something like $2 billion on the Comair divestiture. Not sure about ASA.

As for the competitors POV, I assure you they don't care about you either. Every legacy has dumped on various regionals, and several have gone out of business. I assure you its not personal, and its absolutely not something limited to DL and its regionals. The LCC's are not without sin either.

Wherever you are now, best of luck to you.
Thanks for the well-wishes. I've left the industry before, and I can leave it again tomorrow if I choose to. The Comair experience pushed me to achieve things outside the industry I never would have needed to had it been roses and chocolates. As a result, my participation in the industry, and my employer's future is, well...irrelevant.

How did ALPA have any influence over Delta's decision to shut down Comair?

It only took Delta 11 years to take action after the strike. Obviously the strike was the reason Comair was shut down.

More to the point a single letter from the Comair union sealed their fate.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I don't think business decisions are made with malice and retribution in mind. They are mostly made by bean-counters who examine costs and benefits. Comair's costs had gotten way above the mean, and Delta decided to shut it down.

I doubt it was a "Why, why we'll show them" moment.
