The founders where buying Comair back.
The owner of the Reds was going to buy Comair.
We were going to open a Boston base.
We were closing Orlando (okay that one was true)
Signing bonuses for new hires (we actually had people wanting to leave and get rehired for the bonus) I know....first year FO pay is one step above paying cash to be in the right seat.
Delta is going to relax scope after the merger and Comair will be receiving the CRJ1000
Today's rumors:
Furloughs and the how many....
Delta to just liquidate Comair because they already took the write off.
70/90's are going to JFK.
Post merger there won't be any separate operations.....it will all be run from Atlanta.
Oh and we need to pay $240 each to protect ourselves from our own union.
Sorry RJTP, i had to throw that one in there.
I'm sure I've missed quite a few. Feel free to add your own.

Reserves have way to much time on there hands a sit on these boards all day long (True statement)
And on a side note ASA is set to lose the MCO stuff from the MESA deal, do you hear them doom and glooming.

I'm on a day off so if chose to waste it on the boards my choice....free country last time I checked.
ASA has a contract with Big D and they haven't mention the "F" word in their conference calls.
I don't think any of this is "DOOM AND GLOOM". It's speculation and a little venting. Personally, if they offer COLA's, well I'll take one for a while. I hate being on reserve and would rather do something else for a month.

Oh ya a few more
we will be merged with compass/mesaba post merger
CVG will be closed post merger (ya'll better put your houses up for sale now and move to MEM, DTW, or MSP because someone on ALPC said it will happen)
They will get rid of all the rats at JFK (OK made that one up but we can wish)

We all do but Green team closing, and all other crazy rumors. Lets face it Comair is not as bad as everyone talks it up to be. If it is by all means quit because according to ALPC it may free up a COLA or furlough. We make this place sound like MESA. We are one of the better regionals out there lets act like it. And lets remember we are a regional not a major, sure we dont deserve to be steped on but we are a big D's mercy. Don't like it quit or go to a major(thats for the senior guys, I need the upgrade before I turn 65)
