Yeah, I just flew with Wilbur and Orville Wright the other day on the CR90...

I've already got the fat down, just need old and crusty.
I don't blame them either. I'm just tired of Management complaining about it like a broken record. Either shut up or put up a decent incentive for the senior captains to move up or out.

So now that Delta and expressjet are parting ways, and Delta has announced that they are going to give some of the flying to another regional carrier, and Comair has the planes and the staffing to move in pretty much immediately, maybe we'll see some west coast flying? Wishful thinking?

Skywest will probably pick up most, if not all the slack left behind by xjet..assuming they have the spare aircraft to fill in?

on the other hand, Comair seems like Delta's fill-in regional provider lately.

Delta, will probably reduce some of the flying SkyWest currently does, and give them most of these routes to keep them above the minimum flying threshold in their CPA.

Why don't you $hit in one hand and wish in the other, and see wish one fills up first.

I highly doubt this would be the case, but anything is possible and everything is subject to change at a moment's notice.
