Delta president says merger won't hurt, may enhance Comair

Associated Press - April 17, 2008 1:15 PM ET
HEBRON, Ky. (AP) - Delta Air Lines' president reassured local and state officials that the proposed merger with Northwest Airlines will not affect service at Delta's Cincinnati-area hub.
He also says it will not hurt regional subsidiary Comair.
Delta President Ed Bastian said at a news conference today at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in Hebron, Ky. that the merger will promote more international growth. He says it also could give greater opportunity for regional jet flying at Comair.
Bastian says that Delta will continue to have a relationship with Comair. But he says no decision has been made on whether Comair will remain a subsidiary or become a stand-alone company.

They also say there won't be any furloughs and no hubs will be closed.

Wow, you are as upset as I am. They told me in training to go to JFK and I will hold a line in 2 months. It's been more than a year now and I'm still on reserve. People that got hired way after me are holding the line at Cincinasty. I would never go to CVG though.

Wasn't there supposed to be some announcement a week or so after the net conference? I seem to remember reading somewhere it would be "in the next 5-10 days" or something. Seems like a bunch of us were waiting for word about the Freedom flying. Or was the merger the big announcement?

I don't think we'll hear much about the Freedom flying until the lawsuit goes through. Freedom got an injunction, so now they can keep flying for Delta until the judge rules on their lawsuit.
