Not good news at all:
Q. If our company (flying operations) will be significantly smaller in the fall, does this mean we are facing additional layoffs?
A. We have talked about the need to constantly evaluate our employment levels to ensure we are appropriately staffed to support the operation. That evaluation is an ongoing process and will continue in light of today’s news.
This was the last Q in the Q&A on Epic today.

Its just a "what if" hypothetical statement.
Correct me if you see something different.

I see what you are getting at, though.
I hate to see anyone loose their job and this "streamlining" will certainly lead to more jobs cuts for ground handling, customer service, etc., but I think this is a positive direction for Comair in order to survive and (dare it be said) eventually grow.
For the record, I've never thought Comair was going to close its doors and still don't.

call me crazy but maybe ALPA has been correct about this merger fee. This is just one more step in getting the wholly owned companies closer together.
This now eliminates all ground handling done by comair. Next step is Maint. They will combine all the maint departments into a new company based in Minni. to handle all wholly owned carriers and contract out to other RJ carriers.
Then the flying. Why not they are eliminating a large amount of office staff in each of these moves, saving tons of money.
Lets put this one in Minni too. That way we can fire any office staff not willing to move to to the tundra and hire brand new cheap labor.

Does anyone find this portion of the President's Message on EPIC important?
"The other 2,600 employees, who currently work in various capacities within our Customer Services organization, will become RHS employees as soon as this fall."
There were 5700 employees at comair and 3100 of them just got spun off into another company. the remaining 2600 would include unionized workgroups.

OH FECAL MATTER!!! IF anyone cares, Budweiser is doing a lot of hiring all over the country, the pay is good. Go to ABjobs.com. So what's the likelihood of the fleet to start growing, negative 50%?
