So let me get this straight. Everyone at Comair busts their tales to keep the streek of 100% completions going and the company employs GS's principles and give out Starbucks gift cards to a few employees whos employee number ends in a "48." That's just like having lunches for the CEOs of our cockpits and leaving out the rest of the team.

How many of you think that our 100% completion record as of recent will have any play in our role as a Delta Connection Carrier after the merge? We have a very expensive seniority list, Delta has done nothing but shrink this company since 2005, and they continue to Sh&* down our throats. Rosin up your bows, because I think they will be hiring a few violin players in the next few months.

If you haven't figured it out yet, Delta's institutional memory has never forgiven Comair for the strike.

It will play no role what so ever with our future status. Everyone has had great performance this month except Pinnacle. We have had an unbelievable streak of great weather throughout the country. Lets give credit where credit is due. Thanks Mother Nature for our 100% completion streak!

A great sports player becomes great when he does something amazing when he isn't supposed to. We have like 30 spare airplanes and according to the company tons of extra pilots. What we are doing should be expected. Lets see how our performance is when we start facing some road blocks in our way.

I couldn't agree more. Like I said a few pages back, I think Delta would shut Comair down in not for nothinig more than to have the last word in response to that strike.

Im kinda sick of hearing that one. Hardly any of delta's management that was there during the strike is currently there now. After the merger almost none will be left. Anderson is bringing in all of his old management guys from NWA to run delta.

I hate to say it but the current people there dont care how much money you cost Delta 10 years ago. They were at another airline at the time. They did however see what happened at Delta and wont let any 1 regional carrier get to much market share.

You have a point, however there may be a few of the Alumni that are still doing advising for them. Also, even the new guys can look at what happend and cast their opinions on it.

You have a point too. That's why I think no regional carrier will have such a large presence as comair once did. Especially in 1 hub like comair did in cvg. Everybody is in CVG, and ATL. It is going to be very interesting where everyone is shifted after the merger.

The magic 8 ball doesn't say good things about Comair's future.
