Damn... I sure hope this isn't correct. I've been treated well by many OH folks over the years. This would not be a fitting end, after all the years of service they gave to Mother D.

Untrue. Fearmongering. Carry on.

Delta made a lot of updates to the GDS this weekend, and I can still find comair flights into 2013... not to mention, it would take some prior planning and announcements to transfer their current fleet to another airline, as well as legal obligations to warn pilots of impending furlough. Does not seem likely Delta has made any final decisions yet.

As much as I'd like to think you're right, it's only a 30 days notice for furloughs, and same amount of time to increase/decrease flight schedules for other companies. So if they have something in mind, 30 days is all they need.

As per the contract, 14 days written notice prior to the furlough.

Yeah. 30 days to staff 28+ aircraft. Righttttt....

Delta always pulls flying down for the Fall, and supposedly Gojet is overstaffed right now.....

We'll see what happens. Hope all these rumors are untrue....

Aren't they required to give WARN notices 60 days in advance?

Was not aware of that. Thanks, I was just quoting per our contract of any furloughs. I would think if OH ceases operations, then it would be covered under WARN.

Announcement this Friday (7/27) would allow for 63 days notice if a shutdown was, in fact, planned for 9/28.
