Blueridger - actually, MCH was quietly dissolved months ago. Right around the time the announcement was made DCI and Compass HDQs were moving to MSP. So, Compass, Mesaba and Comair all fall under the DCI umbrella.

I absolutely hate the USA today. The WSJ while very boring and wordy is 10X more informative. The USA today has better crosswords though... I can never get the really difficult ones. Supposedly certain days of the week have harder puzzles then others???

Mondays are the easiest and they get more difficult as the week goes on...

Regarding the paint being stripped due to corrosion, most of the painted saabs I've seen still have the red paint underneath the white. Take a look at where the white paint has chipped and you will still see red. I'll have to look closer next time. It could just be where there have been cargo doors and pannels replaced rather than the actual airframe (borrowed parts).

You don't have to look very hard. The plane I just flew had the white paint wearing off for 2 inches above the front windshield already...the exposed red paint was hanging on just fine though :-)

Comair has generously loaned two CRJ200s to Pinnacle, two to Mesaba, and two to SkyWest. These are to cover their CRJ shortages while their other aircraft are being painted.
Comair is required to keep these aircraft to be in compliance with their pilot agreement, but nowhere in the agreement does it say they need to be flown. I guess loaning them to other DCIs is OK with Comair, Delta, and ALPA.
