I think that sounds like good news in terms of expansion for SkyWest

I'm sure comair knew this would happen. I think this will make the attrition increase even more than it already has been

Look's like the beginning of the end for Comair. I hope not.

Seems like all of the "regional" flying for Delta will be done by Skywest, Chautauqua, then Comair in that order. Don't know what the percentages are, but it looks like this is the way it's going to fall.

It's horrible that Comair is losing this flying. But at very least we can be thankful that SkyWest got the planes, and not the likes of Mesa, GoJets, or some other bottom feeding ******hole.

Uhhhhhhgggggghhhhhh.....followed by the sounds of my hands slapping my forehead. I think the skywest guys are now going to have to look deep within themselves to wonder whether or not this is crossing the line, and I hope you all know what line I'm talking about.

embarassed former SkyWest,
