I suppose it does make sense if the other wholly owned carrier is cheaper to operate. Scummy nevertheless.

Does XJ require relinquishing your number at your prior job like Compass? Just wondering....it would suck if you gave your number up at comair, went to XJ, then got merged together and ended up lower than you woulda been had you stayed on Comair's list....not that that will ever happen, just a scenario...rumor was that we had guys at 9E who freaked after the ATL announcement, went to Comair, got furloughed out of class....not sure how much truth there is to that...

Careful... who knows who will emerge post merger......but it would scare me. my boyfriend was a furloughed mesaba guy who came to comair, and chose NOT to go back when recalled bc of his QOL at Comair, not commuting, and the fact that when he was furloughed they thought Mesaba would be GONE. memphis saab FO commuting compared to CRJ in base..........I turned down an interview there, and he turned down his recall. He'd be a 900 captain. he is a 2 year FO at Comair. It sucks getting stuck on the wrong side... hidesight 20/20... I hope if u make the move there from comair it works out for u, but who knows WHERE we will all end up a year from now........

Ok, here ya go:
12 more 900's total
5 new ones and the 7 that PNCL has from Freedom in Feb. '09
3 Saab's to be placed in ATL
...Let's see how close we are in the very near future. Don't ask for sources as you know that's not an option. A lot of folks know this now so it's not earthshattering but I guess the first time on this site.

ya and Delta has told 9E that will will be keeping all those 900's from freedum... so believe what u want... but I wont be giving up my number at comair until things really happen.
I have also heard many times that mesaba will lose A/C after the merger.

DOH integration of seniority list seems to be the only way to merge to groups.

Uhhh, ok. I will. That's why I posted it. I'm not EVER going to post numbers without merit.
Whomever brainstormed a story that Mesaba would LOSE aircraft post merger "ain't so bright". I don't say that for any other reason that simple post bankruptcy economics. Delta now has a company, in Mesaba, that is now able to grow as big as scope will allow, that is wholly owned and has a contract with known costs through 2012. Plus, for whatever reason, they seem to be happy with them.
Now, I'm not going to pretend to be Nostradamus and try to figure out where Comair fits into the rationale but at present, it doesn't seem to fit at all.
