And look at skywest in slc, I don't think hardly ANYONE aside skywest and daddy d go in there. I think it speaks measures about deltas feelings on comair, when it's us and freedom sharing bases in Cvg and jfk.

Steve B talked to my recurrent ground the other day and it wasn't the usual company Kool aid. He was practically pleading with us about on time performance criteria so we "look good for the rest of the world". And admitted to all of us that comairs ENTIRE business model is based on mesa gong under. There is no plan if mesa survives and their delta flying sticks. Listening to him was like listening to someone say their last words.

WOW 2-3+ years?!?! That's optimistic!!!!!

• Once again, the UAL flying was mentioned, and there might be a chance that we could see some in the future. It would be 50 seat flying, as UAL is limited by scope on 70 seat JETS! However, there is no scope on 70 seat PROPS, so they have mentioned Q400s for UAL.

YAWNNNNNN

• Talked a bit about the integration of wholly owned carriers after the merger. As of right now, everyone will continue to operate separately.

This is the Delta way. See (Crack the whipsaw Thread..)

• Cost structures were mentioned between other DCI carriers, and that obviously Comair is one of the highest ones, due to our senior pilot group.

All the more reason to buy out the senior pilots. Oh wait the Union won't allow that.....They are on our side....aren't they??

• Profit sharing checks will be distributed next week, should be between 3-4%.

Sweet....fuel costs coming down....I'm hedging...





Thanks for posting the "notes" Driver.

Number three Hende....Need a calculator??

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.

and no not all schedulers arent stupid, but they DO hate pilots.... this has been my worst month on reserve after 18 months at the company... the worst....
