All comair should have first crack at Delta interviews at the very least. Did they really insert an entire paragraph of fluff about skyteam, hubs, and mainline at the end of that letter to employees?!

What a sad state of affairs the regional game has become. I hope this event helps those of you at mainline carriers further understand that better contracts for pilots can only occur at the mainline level. Comair did their best to improve the regional industry, and they did. Unfortunately the customer that pays Comair has no loyalty to that brand, and now Delta will be increasingly served by the likes of Gojet. This is why us subcontracted pilots care about your scope even though we do not work with you. Comair pilots will always have a strong reputation in my book, never met one who wasnt a consummate professional.

Brutal industrie. I feel sorry for anyone losing their job. Best of luck to everyone looking for new employment. ALPA should fight harder to limit RJ flying and then the young avaitor's can be employed at mainline.

Good luck to all of the Comair folks. This is why Scope should never be sold. Those 70 new 76 seaters that Delta can now get, those jobs will forever be whipsawed and performed at minimum pilot wages.

Yes...but...they can't input it into their computer until you are within 24 hours of published sign in, ie. sign in for the original dh on the pairing, not your dh deviation. I called them to tell them last week, they told me to call back within 24 hours of original dh...
