Everyone stay in your shoes. I don't believe for a second that they are just going to give up the planes without a fight. I am also not sold that Comair will get them.

I agree. This is most likely going to be a rerun as before with the 145s.

For whomever said that Freedom didn't pick up flying for us (don't remember who said that), that is not true. On the last net conference J.S. said F8 did some flying for us in July out of JFK.

nice!!! i like it, havent heard that one before.

i believe that delta will just get rid of those airframes. although they might do some one for one swaps with 50's. but what am i saying, we all know those are going to skywest/pncl/etc. sucks, but its the truth.

Doesn't the contract state Comair has to be awarded 30% of any jets Delta hands out this year? That means at least 5 go to Comair.

you know I did hear that, so if we get 5 planes how many pilots would that be that would have to save some furloughs.

11 pilots per aircraft. If they don't park 5 of the 50s.

There will be no rerun. The contract was CANCELLED. So, J.O. is out of luck this time, and when he ( mesa) has to buy back 77 million dollars worth of stock on FEB 10th, he might be out of business.

Doubt they will go anywhere but Comair. Delta wants those airframes to continue serving in the NE, so Comair is the obvious choice, plus Comair is staffed to take them in a hurry.
