TWA, Eastern, and PanAm. You could be on top of the world today and gone by tomorrow.

no offense guys, just reffering to those that think taking Comair off everything is the end of the world, but most of the DCI carriers don't put their names on anything but in fine print on the side of the airplane, the only exception is Skywest and it really isn't as obvious, ...this is Delta streamlining everything to make it one brand and one seemless service. We weren't even allowed to put Delta on our employee badges when we got new one's at Mesaba from switching from the Northwest Airlink ones, hell they don't even want us saying what airline we fly for in the PA but just to say Delta or Delta Connection. I wouldn't think too far into it...

That's interesting... yesterday I flew into MSP and during the taxi in, the crew thanked us for flying Compass Airlines owned and operated by Trans States. It struck me that the crew seemed bitter.

If I were with Compass I think that I would be bitter. I know I would be.

If you're an airline pilot period, you're going to be and entitled to be bitter.

after many years in the airline industry experiencing loss of my job due to a buy-out, furlough, loss of retirement and multiple pay-cuts... I forgot what bitter feels like
