New memo came out today at Comair - Pilots are now "FORBIDDEN" from using the name Comair in ANY PA announcements. Effective immediately, the only approved name is "Delta Connection".
That's right, the word "Forbidden" was actually used.
In a memo. About speech. To professionals.
I guess "prohibited" was too soft, S.TF.U was too blue collar, and "outlawed" was too harsh?

On a side note: Browsing through the Sky mag, looking at the cool shiny jet pictures of the mighty Delta fleet, it shows everything from the 747-400 down to the mighty SF340 as aircraft in the "Delta Fleet" No mention of any of the current connection carriers. For the customer, the boundry line between the connection carrier and Mother Del-dah is all but gone. I wonder what the mainline DAL folks think about that
... Looks like those are Delta aircraft, shouldn't they be flown by Delta pilots and cabin crew? Sadly, the venerable DC-9 was suspicously absent 
So the Saab, the EMB 170, and 145 make the list, but the -9 is out.

Unless the FAA changes something, that will always be on the side of all aircraft that carry a different name than there own. If you noticed before the single ops cert. was approved all NWA aircraft that were painted Delta colors had "operated by northwest airlines" in small print back left of the fuse.

Actually, those names are here and at a certain size because of requirements in the DAL PWA. Unless we delete that section, they are going no where.
Also, this little PA game is a very sticky issue here. I would be willing to be that it will get reversed and rather quickly. If not there will be some action on it.
