just looked at the delta schedules for january myself and saw that big ole' G7 on there. Since we are not allowed to say anything negative I think its awesome.
Flight 6154 STL DTW im going to list to be on the first flight, but i will probably get bumped by a ramper.

You are 100% accurate about that....the lowest bidder wins..who cares how they treat/pay their employees, it's all about the benjamins...GOJET makes MESA look expensive. Delta will continue that shift of flying to the cheapest provider.

I been out of the loop since I have left a DC, so forgive me for asking but is ComAir still around? Last I heard, they were slowly downsizing it and giving aircraft over Pinnacle, SkyWest and ASA...

As for the DCI movement, It would not surprise me to see SkyWest back east again and like wise with ASA coming back west and bringing Pinnacle over to the west once all the Mesba CRJs are moved over. Having worked both at Delta and Skywest - It's typically Delta having their way with the DCI flying where they want and when they want it. But keep this in mind with the slots, it will really come down to what airlines get what slots out of LGA and DCA. I know Allegiant is looking at the LGA slots along with Southwest - so if they get slots, Delta may end up keeping the LGA/DCA flights to mainline Delta, at least on long haul flying.

Comair is still around. They're in the process of cutting the fleet down to about 44 jets... less than half of what they used to be. The majority of those planes are the CRJ7s and CRJ9s.

Actually, almost exactly a quarter of what we had prior to the bankruptcy.

Kiss the 200's good bye. Delta wants nothing to do with them and they can't get rid of them fast enough.
