Sorry man, the writing is more than just on the wall, it's on the floor the ceiling and there's a giant neon sign.

It really makes sense, Delta will cut down the airline piece by piece. If they just shut the doors, it doesn't allow the appropriate blocks to be taken down. If they just shut the doors, they'll have to pay severance to all it's office staff all at once, yadda yadda. It's much more economical for Delta to just bleed it out...let people quit until they get under the threshold.

Remember fellow furloughed pilots, we're only on the furlough list for 5 years..any one know what happens after that?

GONE, no severeance..nothing..just gone..off the list, no longer employed..no more seniority.

Think about it, Comair's management has VEHEMENTLY opposed any sort of buy outs, colas, voluntaries. They KNOW it makes no sense to buy someone out, when the airline isn't going to be around...or give someone a voluntary or a COLA which puts the ball somewhat in that particular employees court, why would they make that investment if DL has no plans for comair aside continuing to have an award winning Mx department, and a really good ground handling system.

Thems are the nuts and berries guys, Comair has had 30 years, and through one misstep (letting DL buy them) this airline has paid dearly. It's history and fact that Delta bought Comair to get rid of competition in Cincinnati, it's just amazing that it ook them nearly 20 years to do this.

Say what you want, about how it's not 100% that Comair's done..frankly..anything COULD happen. But the fact that Delta is not only taking away airplanes after being awarded for only 10 days, but now they're taking airplanes that have been coming our way for over a year...just makes me sick.

 

Couldnt have said it better Andy...100% accurate

 

Pan Am, Eastern, Independence.... Comair.

 

Pan Am, Eastern, Independence, Maxjet, EOS, ATA, SkyBus..(cough) .....Comedy Air. RIP

 

Careful hoppin' out guys, the water's cold.

 

The time is nearing to move on to Delta. This newest piece of the puzzle is complete bull####!

 

Diver thats great bud!!! LOL!!!! Was fun flying with ya. Good luck at Mesaba, wish you the best!

 

Thanks bro, I had fun flyin with ya as well. Maybe we'll get to do it again when we are both at FedEx.

 

Talked with one of the many pilots that took jobs on the ramp in hopes of getting a chance to transfer to flight ops.

A certain pilot recruiter told him to go elsewhere and to spread the word, Things look very bleak for this company. Anyone know if they emptied the hiring pool?

He also said to try Mesaba, Pinnacle and Compass. It does not matter about Mesa, Delta has already made plans for that flying. United?? Delta is starting to give Comair crap about that. Comair, I'm afraid, is done.

I hope not.

 

I encourage everyone to watch this video and then to seek other employment. These folks didn't get much warning. We have had at least 3 years of warning.
