"Starting to think..." What took you so long? Anyone should see that being owned by Delta is the worst thing that ever happened to Comair, and still is the worst thing, for the airline and it's people. The best we could ever hope for is to be sold! If we were not owned by Delta, this airline could actually have a chance to grow, maybe fly for some other airlines, and not always be on edge wondering, "What is Big D gonna do next?"
Delta wants a good product (from Comair), but they do nothing to help Comair be that product. If you owned a company, wouldn't you do everything possible to make that company a success? Not Delta, they don't invest anything into Comair, they don't try to make Comair a better product (ie; newer planes, better scheduling, better management...), and they continue to just use the lower cost contract regionals (some of which provide a very inferior product when compared to OH).
I bet, even though they made a KY Bourbon keg of money on the sale of Comair, the former owners of this once great airline can't believe the way this airline has become a "has been".

That is all....time for beer!

Yawn.....

Who cares what's going to happen. We have absolutely no control over it. If you guys want to drive yourself insane with your stupid predictions and guessing games, go right ahead!

Wow. Thanks for your permission. I have been holding back waiting for your blessing.

You say the same thing every couple weeks.

Why don't you get a job and stop whining about getting recalled because you are broke? I don't feel sorry for you...

I agree with you; we have no control of what's going to happen to Comair, but some of us care about our job an having a paycheck on 1st & 15th.

Having an unemployment check every week was better than a paycheck on the 1st and 15th....and not that much less

SkyWest May Be Interested in Buying Comair, CFO Says

“Delta has stated previously that we do not have to own our regional partners to derive value from them."

May I suggest Section 1 of the MAG CBA (recognition, scope, successorship and transfer of assets)?
