I don't see that 1.5% on epic...did you call in and get that figure from his phone message thing?

Yes, that number was mentioned in the phone message. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, unless you were stupid enough to believe that another round of Delta capacity cuts wasn't going to include Comair! Happy Holidays and be sure and go the extra mile for your company this holiday season!

Think about how quiet this MEC has been over the past two months. All they have said is that we are hiring new lawyers for the merger possibility. Oh, yeah, and that they are thinking about our guy on furlough.

ASAP isn't owned by anyone, and there is no certificate or agreement to buy. The "agreement" ceased to exist the day the union walked away from the table. I doubt, though, that the FAA will be in any hurry to start a program at Comair again (negotiate a new agreement) with the current union leadership. Why go through the pains of starting the program again only to have the union walk away first time they don't like the way DS looks at them?

Allright, let's play a game called "guess the Comair furloughs".

Whoever gets closest, without going over get's a special prize (probably a furlough).

And whoever guesses the number RIGHT on the money probably gets furloughed too.

I guess 50 more.

I'll bet it's going to be significant. They were probably hesitant to announce anything because they didn't know what they were looking at from Delta. Now that Delta has told them to expect more shrinking and rite sizing for 2009 they will probably drop the ax.
