Airlines Merging
Does anyone know if the Northwest/Delta merging will affect the regional airlines and their hiring in the future? Are any regionals planning to merge also?

...
All should remain as they are. There will be no merging of the regionals. The new Delta will need all 11 of the regional airline partners.
All of the following airlines will have absolutely no disruption. Comair Skywest ASA ExpressJet Mesa Mesaba Pinnacle Colgan Chautauqua Shuttle America Compass Taxes will fall to only 5 percent of earnings, world hunger will end, and Oprah will keep the weight off. You can now go back to your regularly scheduled program. |

I just read that and laughed. Let me look into my crystal ball, hmm it reads the same as xkuzme1's post

with all the mess with reductions that has been going on, I know that Expressjet just added 3 more planes in LAX for Delta, now we're up to 21.

Soldierboy,
There are a couple other threads on this already. Read them. Mergers aren't good for anybody. Somebody will lose and it's nearly always labor. |
It's going to be a wild ride. NWA has Compass. I'm hoping they go for sale and RAH picks them up. I know DAL wants to shave the 50 seaters but that's a hella lot of 50seaters to shave. Whatever contracts NWA and DAL have they are still required to uphold them. I believe DAL and cancel ours if they notify withing a certain amount of time. I'm expecting Mesa to tank and CHQ to buy some Freedom ERJs. I know what the Pope is saying here about his feelings for 50 seaters but if CAL wants them CAL will get them.

I'm not flaiming here or saying I'm for or against these. Depends on how the management decides to run with it. They could either make life better or use the fewer airlines as a way to make things worse. We'll have to see. I'm simply saying in the long run this could be beneficial. |

Compass will not be sold the chances are Mesaba and Compass will merge. Mesaba's 200 will go away and it will be a 3 aircraft airline with no 50 seaters. It will probably have 90 76 seat A/C and 50 SF340. |
