So what happens to Comair? Surely they won't keep just one WO. Especially the most dysfunctional one.

What does this have anything to do with alter egos?

just for starters when skywest pilots insurance goes through the roof at the end of next year and they see their alpa brothers negotiated insurance staying the same that will start some things up. Things are going to get interesting union wise at skywest in the next year.

That Delta flying is spread out amongst a plethora of pilots and operators able to replace each other as an alter ego and as such, no one has any exclusivity over flying which is needed to improve pay and working conditions.

They said in the press release that long term plan is that Mesaba will be the turboprop operator and Pinnacle the jet operator. No mention of Colgan. I would think they will merge Mesaba and Colgan, then change the name to Mesaba. That eliminates the Colgan stigma.
