To all of my Comair friends, I just spoke with a nameless source that had confirmed what we had all thought and suspected. I wanted to give all of you as much of a heads-up as possible. Comair will be making the announcement on July 31st. Their last day of operations will be September 30th.
The U.S. Marshals were briefed to disarm the Comair FFDO's to reduce the risk of one of them from potentially going postal.
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I felt that if I were still at Comair, I would want to know this information as soon as possible in order to plan accordingly.
I wish the best of luck to all of you.

This industry blows. 2012 was supposed to be the year, Comair shutting the doors, Pinnacle bankrupt thus shutting down Colgan and AMR/Eagle in bankruptcy, it looks as bad as it ever has been.
Ts and Ps to those at Comair, awful situation.

times have certainly changed

Translation: Since people need more money as they acquire spouse, mortgage, kids, cars, etc the regional model cannot tolerate employees with high longevity (ie older)...especially when they insist on modestly comfortable compensation.
But this is great news for a kid with a newly minted aviation science degree and a bad case of SJS!
