Well OH is supposed to start losing 15 starting early this spring. Confirmed that with DB(ALPA). He has heard and is trying to confirm that we will keep losing roughly 1 per month for the next 3 years.

Comair only has 15 CRJ200s? I thought Comair had more than that. If this info is true than 100 CRJ200s has to come out of Comair and Mesaba first and then the rest from the other DCIs like Mesa, SkyWest, ASA, Chautauqua. Looks like more dark stormy days ahead for DCI carriers in 2010.

Not trying to start any rumors and I haven't read much of this thread to see if anyone else has posted this, but I was told by a M88 LCP this week that Comair will be returning to CVG. Of course I work at Delta and so does he but he told me that it came up in a check airmen meeting.

thank you for the info.....any idea when that announcement might be made?? And did he mention what the reason was considering CVG is supposed to be shrinking...i guess comair will move back and shrink with it?

I'm guessing that Delta has run the numbers and has decided that enough CVG based crew members have moved to New York or other cities to align their commutes to JFK, that now if they move them back to CVG the crews will just quit because their commutes hardly work.

I would think if they moved all the flying to JFK including the 70/90 alot of crews will quit. I have now idea how Delta/Comair bosses think, but they seem to waste a lot of cash.

There's no way the company or Ng4 would turn down additional flying. Our last profit sharing was as high as it was, due to Ng4 taking on extra flying.

BREAKING NEWS ALERT!!!!

Delta just annouced that CVG will be losing 25 flights from the Comair side of the house. CDG Mainline is gone. 11:00a.m. push is gone. More flights to be lost on the Comair side of the house starting in January till?????

This was confirmed by numerous management types. Check the Cincinnati Enquirer for more details.(10-23-2009 edition) It was a nice ride, but Comair it appears- will be joining Pan Am, Braniff and others.

If you have heard different, please post. The long windown......has begun.
