yeah i was going to say the same thing. 20 of those reductions are already announced from asa. sad to say but i think the rest will come from comair.

Yep... we've already been hosed enough... might as well continue the fun. I think somewhere inside, mainline and OH management gets a rise out of us being on the street.... but maybe I'm just bitter and cynical.

The Dick Anderson said Delta is removing 30 regional jets this year, perhaps he means the year 2009.

Comair has already lost 8 or 12 aircraft this year, plus 6 on "permanant loan" to other DCI carriers so they can keep flying while their aircraft are getting painted.

On the other hand, Delta has already taken 73 aircraft (give or take) from Comair since bankruptcy. What's 30 more?

3825 Delta

Either way, 30 out of the system is a lot of planes, about 250 pilots.
