thanks for the clarification... I had absolutely no idea ANY regional had been around for 30+ years... that would be 1979, I guess Comair could have started back then! I guess most of us assume that after 10-15 years max at a regional, folks move on... but I can see why some would decide to stay.

The first codeshare was with Republic (the original that merged with NWA) starting in 1983.

Why would delta want to merge these two? Having two wholly owned companies with no flying contracts they can just shift all flying to the less expensive group in a never ending race to the bottom. This is something that you pilots should want, and something management probably doesn't want to give you.

Lets take the Delta Major thread about bringing ALL 70-76 seat flying back to mainline. Mesaba, Comair and Compass are then absorbed.

REALLY ROUGH INACCURATE NUMBERS (invite more accurate ones)

3000 pilots X 1000 hrs / year X $15.00 average hourly increase in pay
= $45 million dollars. Benefits probably average about 30% so now it's about $60 million dollars a year.

What would be the cost savings that offset ?
