SKW/ASA has bought somebody..Mesa seems like a good guess..was told by a personal friend whom is directly involved with whatever has been going on behind the scenes (non disclosures are lame!) that there will be an announcement tomorrow morning at 7am.

Guess SKW/ASA's plans to take over the world are happening!

if this does happen...is trollblazer right? Is ASA the 'super regional' that people especially trollblazer were talking about?

Trollblazer also said that the Comair guys would be merged into the Compass list and that ASA was getting 100 airplanes - mostly from Comair, and now he says around 20 planes from Comair.

If Comair is gone in the next 4 months, our pilots merge with Compass, and when 20 is most of 100, Trollblazer will have guessed correctly.

So super regional is coming true. I am beginning to believe trailblazer; that comair won't be around at the End of the year. Because we will be staple to the bottom of delta's pilot seniority list .


Wishful thinking.

I am starting to think being bought out might be a good thing. Look at the airlines that has been bought this pass year. They have 10 years contract. I guess we missed out on growth and stability.

He's earned himself a 3-day vacation. I'm sure we'll hear how we are losing 500 airplanes in a couple of days.

We might not "like" trailblazers Web board musings about Comair's demise but nothing she/he posts is as far-fetched as some would have it. I can see for myself without his/her posts that Comair's future is sketchy at best. As for a staple to mainline? Not gonna happen. Who was that Simpsons character that said "it'll happen...in the year of the porcupine." hint: never.

Looks like TBlazers' predictions are coming true. Like him or not, he's been nearly spot on.
