Not sure if it's an increase of flying for Pinnacle or just a shift. They lost a lot of flying in MSP, Skywest picked it up....

Besides, TrailBlazer says Comair will be finished before the end of the year, so why bother displacing anyone to LGA?

Doesn't the 700/900 fly in and out of LGA right now to warrant a base? I could be wrong though.

You know what I forgot about TrailBlazer. ALL HAIL ASA!

Do the former Delta guys do all the hiring, or are there some former NWA guys in that department?

The entire Comair mess left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. I know a pilot who is involved in hiring at a airline many would jump at the chance to work at. His son was a furloughed Delta pilot. He also never forgets what happened when Delta started furloughing and Comair was hiring. Its a small industry at the top with lots of corporate memory. Two of the biggest fish in flight ops when UAL/CAL combine are former Delta. One really can't stand Comair for both the strike and hiring policy. The problem is that there are a lot of pilots who were not even at Comair during this time and they should not be painted with the same brush.
Delta has by the way hired Comair pilots. Just not nearly as many as from ASA. Perhaps in this round of hiring things will be different and it will be a more even distribution. Several of the very anti Comair individuals are no longer in flight ops at Delta. They are however still in the industry at other airlines.
