they changed it already. Looks better now.

That thar's funny right there. And no, he's not serious. There is no place to hang one's self in the Comair crew room.

Back when I was at the regionals (2000) Comair (and Air Wisky) were the two regionals where you could go and have a career...

I wanted to go to Comair. Back then I figured if I never get my dream corporate job or a major job, I would'nt mind getting stuck at Comair for life.

times have certainly changed

If this isn't true then Delta should have immediately set the record straight. Is Delta in any sort of negotiations on the property? (honest question)

Why pay for such a senior pilot group? Delta's and Comair's most junior captain were hired the same year! If there is somebody cheaper, I'm sure Delta will find them.

It will be a sad day if this comes to pass. Good luck folks.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Delta management caused this. They managed Comair into oblivion by driving its costs and seniority up by continually shrinking it and failing to invest in it; thereby pi$$ing away over $1 billion that they paid for it.
