I guess we will wait and see
Were his lips moving? That's the trouble with email these days. You can't tell.

CVG may still have plenty of block hours, just not Comair in CVG. Nowdays you've got Freedom, Pinnacle, ASA, and CHQ with enough Cincy flying to have pilot bases here (not official bases, but should be). Plus SKW doing the salt-in-the-wound trips (CVG-ATL, CVG-MSP, etc).

Back in the day 35,000 Cincy hours meant 35,000 Comair hours, but I guess Delta saw the error of that in 2001.

Hey here is a plan........screw Delta! Yeh sorry but I don't give a rats *** about using the APU or Single engine taxi. Why? Has it done ONE thing to give me more money or save a fellow pilots job? F U Delta! If you want to burn Comair to the ground I will do my best to take Delta with me!!!!!!!!!!!

The toilet paper in Richard Anderson's private bathroom probably cost more than the extra expenses of several p'd off Comair pilots running their APUs a little longer.....

After carefully evaluating both scenarios, it looks like either way, you lose. Therefore, I'd rather take my chances with doing what Delta asks (as far as fuel savings, etc.) over the alternative. Oh, and this is coming from someone that's out of a job in January.

Has anyone else noticed this?

When you throw your 100% Completion pin into a fire and then pull it out, strange words suddenly appear...

It says "One Soaper to rule them all"

I don't know about you guys but for once i'm glad its not negative news. The first semi-positive announcement in 6 months or more (not really a plus considering we have people on the street but i was for sure the memo from delta meant more cuts.)

It must be because of our 100% Completion day today.

After talking with the new guy one on one, I actually believe him. So now the question is which DCI carrier is gonna get hit with these reductions? I think they'll be coming after ASA and Skywest this time.

How long until JetJock shows up to say that SKW has an iron-clad contract with Delta and it would cost Delta hundreds of millions to even think of changing the deal?

Reminds me of Episode V when Boba Fett watches Lando get scrood by Vader again and again, and Fett saying to himself "Good thing I had Lord Vader put our deal in writing..."
