What does this all mean? Formulate your own conclusions.
Is there anything at all to support any of this?

I heard DAL was so impressed with what Midwest mgmt did with RAH, they will be replacing all their 737 and newly acquired dc9 and a320 flying from NWA with the mighty 170 and RAH pilots.

There is nothing about this on Delta-Net. Also, I don't believe DAL-ALPA has approved a scope relief for more large RJ's.

This seems so improbable as to be flamebait. Where is your source?

Well I hope (for our sake and yours) that it's good news and hiring will resume. Unfortunately in this biz you have to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Updating my résumé tonight.

Lots of mergers, musical chairs, and some regionals going bye bye.
Comair is offering buyouts-early outs to be the best dressed wh0re when a merger partner comes around. the best part- she's heavy into anal!!! She wasn't willing, then "D" came along. She liked it so much, she started treating her own the same way.
