Comair was the first domino. The plan is already in place. If you doubt it, ask a Delta pilot to show you their contract. Unless you are mainline, there is no place for you in the future.

Yes we are the next Comair. Delta is keeping us going only until the flying can be absorbed by others. Its over.

Skywest is already tell their employees they arent as competitive as Eagle. |

Eagle is not an airline. Your mec gave away all your airplanes so it's just a pilot group. It also happens to be a very senior expensive pilot group. AA would save alot of $ by farming out all of eagles flying and just rehiring you guys as new hires.

Whatever it is, it's goin to be 2-3 years before the dust settle.

The wheels were set in motion at Comair in August of 2005 and it will have taken 7 years to get to where they are now. I feel the closing was really put in stone back in Aug/Sept of 2010 when the announcement to park half the fleet.
They dynamics are different with Eagle and Pinnacle. PNCL is a publicly traded company and has management that can look for work and answers to creditors. Eagle is more like Comair, wholly owned with another company calling the shots. It has managers who take their directions from their bosses at AMR. |

I've never heard this from Mgmt. but nice try, I needed a good chuckle.
BTW, you're teeth are red from all the Kool-Aid...... CAL didnt play this card with expressjet, or Delta with ASA or Mesaba. USair still maintains PDT and PSA. I dont think the comair end is Eagles end. Its a growing company still, taking over many ground handling units for United Express and other airlines. They are not really that much more senior than units of Skywest and RAH. I still put my money they get spun off and buy someone up, or get sold to another holding company, and much up some of your watering mouths of gaining our flying. Just remember all you guys drooling at the idea of getting AMR flying, you could just as quickly be getting thrown into a merger with Eagle. |
