Delta Announces Creation of Regional Handling Subsidiary
Comair, Mesaba and Compass Customer Services Teams To Transition
"Today's news obviously represents a big change in our airline's business platform, and one that will reduce our overall size by nearly half, from about 5,700 to 3,100 employees," President John Bendoraitis said in a memo to the Comair team. "As part of our Focus 2009 plan, I've talked extensively about our need to be cost-competitive. This move by Delta certainly supports those efforts to re-align our cost structure by putting us more on par with our competitors who do not have Customer Services as part of their infrastructure. It also enables us to focus solely on our core business of flying airplanes -- making sure we are the best airline."

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.

3100 will remain, including the unionized groups.

Some good news on my behalf, I have been substitute teaching here in FL and just landed a full time sub position for a teacher who will be out for the remainder of the school year. Pays $26 an hour 35 hours a week!! I am stoked about it!!! At this point I am happier than I have been in a while. My commute home is positive space and is a 15 minute ride in the captain's seat.

It varies county by county. I live in Seminole County so I could tell you that procedure but otherwise I would recommend going to your county school board or visit their website and look up info on becoming a substitute teacher. It's pretty fun. I am actually considering a career as a full-time teacher. I would have to meet some further certification requirements but I just may be willing to do it if it means some sort of career in which I can possibly support my kids. I'm bout fed up with chasing this dream around.

How many employees do you think this company has? We don't have 5700 customer service employees + all of the unionized employees. As of today a few thousand employees were spun off and became Regional Handling Services. The memo say by fall the remaining few thousand will then become Regional Handling Services. That's what I don't get.
