JFK mechanics apparently know all about it. It could be bunk, but the ramp guys in GSO knew about that crew base way before the pilots ever did. Contract says at least 60 days notice, so if true, we'll find out pretty quick.

....and what about the Boston base on Oct. 1st?

Are you sure? Have you verified this with Trailblazer? He says that Comair is done by the end of the year, so how can this be?

Still here. Still stand by my post about Comair shutting down. Looks like what I have been posting is coming true so far. Pay attention to the trends of what is going on and what is being said at Comair. I will pass this along. Skywest might buy Compass, comair or someone eles. we might find out for sure around May 21st. I have been told that if Comair is bought, it is only for the airplanes with no crews or personal. Like I said Comair is gone. The Skywest Purchase of another airline is not a fact that I can back up...

...so...May 21st, huh?...

Oh!! It's all too clear, now!!
That day is;
-(1927)The day Charles Lindbergh touches down in Paris
-(1932)Amelia Earhart forced to land in a pasture in Ireland
-(1960)Jeffrey Dahmer born
-(1981) Irish Republicans hunger strikers die in prison...

....Why didn't I see it before? Aviation...strikers...death! The signs are right there!!! Wake up people! Thank you Trailblazer.

(during the wikipedia search, I found it's also the birthdate of porn actresses Briana Banks and Belladonna. I thought it may have been a significant link, but then realized that they get paid ALOT more than us to get screwed!)
