I think it would be nice of folks still left there to post what there up to, how's life after Comair, etc. Those of you that still work there or have worked there or attended the academy I think you guys/gals should let the meanies know life still goes on with or with out Delta.
Still sad and mad at how they did us.

While I can understand your feeling on this, I must say emphatically, no. Methinks it's best to let it die on it's own, not as a gesture to say...Delta.

Been unplugged for two days and I come back to hear this news! This is not anything close to what I've discussed with people in the know(which I can not discuss). If this is indeed true, it will be a sad day when they operate the last Comair flight and shut the doors for good! I worked with lots of great people from Customer Service to the pilot group. I miss it sometimes and still hold a place for it. The last few years there we're not the best. Furloughs, down sizing, and fleet reductions, just made it unbearable to watch and work there. I'm still optimistic that things will get better, but with the word "Final" being used, I'm not to sure anymore. To those of you who are still there, keep up the fight!

To all of my Comair friends, I just spoke with a nameless source that had confirmed what we had all thought and suspected. I wanted to give all of you as much of a heads-up as possible. Comair will be making the announcement on July 31st. Their last day of operations will be September 30th.
The U.S. Marshals were briefed to disarm the Comair FFDO's to reduce the risk of one of them from potentially going postal.
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I felt that if I were still at Comair, I would want to know this information as soon as possible in order to plan accordingly.
I wish the best of luck to all of you.

No offense, but anyone "in the know" knows that this thing is being shut down on September 30th. Anything else is pure fantasy and does a disservice to those that need to understand the importance of looking for another job.

All....
One issue, with respect to Comair ceasing complete operations, which I just can’t figure a logical answer to – who in the DCI system has the capacity to pick up the CVG traffic?
If no other carrier has the capacity, or has announced additional flights servicing CVG then this “end of Comair” theory might not be as accurate as many might think.
There still is a very viable market in the CVG area. Would Delta leave that much $ on the table and withdraw completely from CVG and if so for what reason?
If Delta doesn’t withdraw, who has the capacity to supply the feed to the mainline acft in CVG?
I do believe that the DTW CRJ’s could easily be (re)moved elsewhere system wide, but the CVG CR7/9’s would be a very difficult loss.
Interested in your thoughts….
